Why are Americans so religious?
>>81483995
Why are Americans the best people on Earth?
Because we aren't communists
Fear of nonexistence.
I don't even know where your country is located.
Fuck out of here.
>>81483995
China is also an exception.
>>81483995
The better question is, why are Americans so wealthy?
And of course the answer is, their industry and infrastructure weren't raped by the world wars and countless other conflicts since.
>>81483995
American exceptionalism
>>81485396
Spain wasn't in either world war, and I wouldn't say they're particularly wealthy.
The answer is this: American individualism and protestant work ethic.
Special snowflake syndrome or pic related

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the growing European class of educated people, middle class and future rulers associated religion with state religion and therefore with corrupt governments. America has religiosity and personal industry but no state religion.
In the cold War, America got edgy and based all of their policies on being Reverse Soviet.
So if the Soviet removed Religion, america would endorse it.
If Soviet fought muslim terrorists, America would support muslim terrorists.
If Soviet did X, America would do opposite of X.
etc.
There was a dick measuring contest, and people were afraid Soviet had large land mass (large penis), so America/Europe reacted like scared children, desperate to prove Communism is inferior.

No.

America has a lot of poor people.

We're really all broke and people actually believe that getting a fair wage is "class warfare."

>Doesn't know about First Great Awakening or Restorationism, or any of the other Christian movements throughout American history.
Americans have been through this game before. We get more secular and degenerate and then the Christians kick everyone's ass and bring them back under the Light of our Savior.
America has always been a Christian nation and will always be a Christian nation. Providence. Manifest Destiny. Shining City on the God Blessed Hill, you Eurofaggot fuck!
Hallelujah! Amen!

Once again no. Our revolution was launched straight out of the churches. Our first president made a covenant with god, which is affirmed each time a new one is inaugurated. Our civil war to set men free was waged to the tune of hymnals from the lips of the common soldier.
Once more, your post deserves a few more "No"'s upon a second read through.
>Soviet fought muslim terrorists, they didn't invade a sovereign country led by a secularist-minded leadership with the aim of continuing a southward push that had been the aim of Russian rulers for hundreds of years
No.
>There was a dick measuring contest, there wasn't a titanic, global geopolitical ideological struggle for the soul of the post-WWII world, as to weather it would be governed by the (sometimes seriously flawed) will of the people or allowed to slip back into authoritarian and totalitarian rule by an unapproachable and unchangeable ruling class
No.
>America/Europe reacted like scared children, desperate to prove Communism is inferior, which it isn't. Clearly they are the same in relative terms, moral ones, economic viability, the state to which man's individual freedoms can be assessed, or whatever other measure that can be applied
No.
>>81491275
Even today your Children inherited your reverse Soviet policy.
You see the youth of America go SJW leftist cuck mode, in counter reaction to Russia enforcing traditional Patriachal value structure, illegalising homos, and exalting the Orthodox Church into more power.
The apple doesn't fall far from the Tree, You will always be Reverse Russia.

Why is it so difficult for a Dane commie to understand? It's this (>>81485480). We're religious because we baked it into the cake. Because unlike most places in the world we set no state controls on religion, as an element of the ideals of liberty we wanted to foster, and therefore set no limitations on it.
Mostly because all other countries got rich from greed and sin,so they abondoned religion. America became rich through hard work.

We aren't. We just became home to most of the world's billionaires, so their wealth pushes up the average statistics while the common man suffers in abject poverty.

The slave trade only existed in the new American state for 17 years (by agreement of the original compromise that permitted the formation of the Union), and was not a factor to the economic development of the north, which quickly overshadowed that of the south. Plus most native populations were decimated in epidemics, depopulating two whole continents, leaving that area of what became America relatively free from human occupation. Find another excuse to hate your country, faggot.

Christianity is antithetical to communism, so your hypothetical is absurd and meaningless.
America is Christian because we believe our nation was divinely inspired. Christianity is in our blood and souls.
Also, girls love Christianity. They like the no cheating, stable marriage, virgin Mary parts. The only reason they've rejected it is because cucked white Gen X males were mad at their daddies and became atheists and nihilists.
Millenials and Gen Y are more Christian.

There's the true, non meme history. Political parties empowered them and gave them an agenda to support in exchange for their loyalty

Muslims are in Europe (along with Christian Africans) because of:
1. Swarming in during colonialism (which was started in more Christian times)
2. Geography, Europe is the closest rich place to flood into
3. US forced Turks into Germany after WW2
4. Muslims 150 years ago didn't feel as much of an urge to migrate globally
Muslims are in Europe the same reason Mexicans are in the USA. Christianity isn't border control, Christianity is multi-racial and Christians are known for third-world adoptions.

No stupid.
The Catholic Church loves Mexicans coming into America because they're mostly Catholic. If Mexicans were mostly Muslims, Trump wall would have been built 30 years ago.

I guess the homeless who don't starve to death because they receive food from handouts aren't "poor" to you.
Yeah food isn't a big problem because of food stamps and churches/organizations giving out food, but that doesn't mean the people receiving them aren't poor and have a low quality of life on par with those of many countries you consider "truly poor".
In modern society many of these people have no family, tribe, or community left. Modern society and capitalism has mostly destroyed those, in past times of history you were born into a tribe/community, and had a place in that community, you received food from hunting/gathering/agriculture. Anyone still living life like this is richer than a poor person in America.
51% of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year, that's hardly enough to live in a one-room apartment and have a nutritious diet here without handouts from the government/organizations.

There is many completely sane people who are homeless.
What do the niggers in that picture prove? Would you like me to show you pictures of the ghettos of Camden or Detroit? I don't think you know how bad they actually look. Would you like to see pictures of skid row? There is homeless encampments that look like that.

Because this is GDP per capita. Huge swaths of the US are poor, highly religious welfare suckers, which raises the religious level but doesn't affect GDP, since we have all the megacorps.

Also as a result everyone should know that Islam will never take hold in the USA. This is a hopeless divide and conquer tactic. People see it as brutal and alien here, we speak english and wont adopt foreign languages. Islam is rooted in a foreign language, doesnt easily translate.

And a sizeable, highly disproportionate number to the general populace are mental cases, approaching 64% is some urban areas.

It would hardly do any good for your point to post those run down shitholes of the country where your approach towards societal issues and philosophy of government has been given a full head of steam for a couple generations. Here. I'll do that for you.
Rather, you should probably take from such depressed areas the proper conclusions, instead of calling for wider adoption of what has corresponded along with the economic downturns you note and lament.
But blaming the wrong thing for a problem and proposing more of the disease goes hand in hand with the left.
Anyway, it's remarkable how talk of our religiosity and corresponding wealth has brought a mess load of communists and lefties into the thread. Here's another. >>81503785
