> Minor quibble - despite the best efforts of the current US President, > the United States is not a Christian country. That is not how it looks from outside the US. Let�s see. You let your children pledge allegiance to the flag every school day. Quote from that pledge: "one nation, under God". A quite large area of the US is known as the "Bible Belt". The US itself is sometimes called "God�s own country". Watch interviews with Americans who have been in involved in matters of life and death (births, accidents, disasters) and you will notice that most of them will mention God somewhere in the conversation. If you are not Christian, your chances of getting a job in politics seem to be considerably smaller; how many members of Congress and the Senate do NOT call themselves Christians? And when was the last time the US had a non-Christian (FREX, a Muslem) president? Note: for me, the term "Christian" includes all the various Christian groups, such as Roman Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Presbyterian etcetera.
