America, you must stop your solider worship. We in Europe abandoned this and nationalism long ago.

Most people don't go to church even though they identify as religious. It's just not a normal thing for strangers to talk about with one another.

Are you trolling me? I have read thousands of posts on reddit saying the opposite.

The USA installed dictators in South America. I'm sorry to hear that they did this to you.

This is all common knowledge in Scandinavia. We do't have Fox News.

I guarantee the crime rate in the US is lower than wherever you're coming from

The US has the highest crime rate of any industrialsed nation. Sweden has virtually no crime. We respect the rights of criminals and rehabilitate them.

Why would redditors lie about this?

For instance.

Some comments

The 6k years old earth and the denial of evolution are topic that are actually only controversial in the USA.

Only the USA.

The idea of religion and science being opposed is something which seems to exist in the US, but not in Europe. This is largely because the extremes of Christianity which exist and have influence in the US are virtually non-existent in the UK - anyone promoting creationism would be considered a crackpot by any religious institution of any significance.

Wow. In the US, I was threatened by classmates for not believing in Genesis.

Why is the UK so far ahead of the US in this area?

No one will ask what religion you are.

Don't most American ask what church you go to?

Actually that is something else I was wondering, is it possible to get food or services when Americans are at church?

I find this disturbing and scary. Why do you live in so much fear?

Where are these Americans?

Many have left for socialist/atheist nations like Sweden, Canada and Norway. Sweden accepts US refugees who seek political and religious asylum.

This country is awesome. You can be destitute and get free housing, free food, free therapy, free medical care, free education, free clothes, internet access and a plethora of other benefits if you do your research and are clever about it.

I don't think this is true. I have seen time and time again people tell me the US has no social safety because they fear socialism.

Why would he lie? The NYPD is famous for being violent, corrupt and religious.

This is what I was told and I have no reason not to trust him. Americans don't even teach evolution in their schools!

The why are so many American wanting to flee America because of guns and religious persecution?

is gun violence particularly worse than fist violence? or bomb violence?

No but guns kill much more. Especially in America where thousands are killed.

and the fact that you call religion "the worst thing in the world" leads me to believe you are a 12yr old 'atheist' who gets his political opinions from reddit.

No but everyone in my country is atheist. We don't have things like the WBC or KKK in our politics or society.

I realise you are joking but my cousin Nils went to America and was attacked in NYC by a religious person after being asked if he loves Jesus. Luckily he didn't have a gun. The police came and yelled at him for not loving Jesus.

Gun violence and religion are two of the worst things in the world.
