With the help of unreligious, unpatriotic, imperialistic juggernauts. Same reason why Christianity only spread because of Barbarians.
>How did America become the only seriously religious developed country in the world?
I would argue that the seriously religious parts of America are *not* developed and are in fact poorer, less educated, fatter, and generally worse off than the other parts of America.
*Except the Mormons.
Southerners are about as depraved as northerners, it's just that northerners are more perverted. Whereas southerners have illegitimacy, northeners have LGBT and trannies. Both are riddled with violent crime for different reasons. The only difference between them is that northerners are more honest about the fact that they hate God.
None of this LGBT shit would even exist if the south alone ruled America
But southerners are still godless perverts, which is teen pregnancy is a bigger problem there than in the north.
>Teen pregnancy is wrong
You're an idiot.
Not op, but I assume most of those are out of wedlock?
It is when the children are bastards.
with Southerners it's mostly just basic b***h drinking, using drugs, and having sex. though at least the stronger religious culture there means people feel more sense of guilt of it.
>Both are riddled with violent crime for different reasons
Actually it's the same reason but discussing why would lead us into /misc/ territory so we won't.
The idea that Middle America is some spiritually rich place is the biggest lie. They worship something alright: buying, selling, and consuming. Also money. And listening to right-wing talk shows hosting by homophobic closet cases. But they don't even enjoy having money because they believe taking pleasure in anything is bad, therefore, they're driven to suck the fun out of everything, suck the life out of everything, and to destroy the planet and the forests and make as much money as possible because that means God is blessing them. They should all be put in cages and injected with experimental vaccines.
>They worship something alright: buying, selling, and consuming. Also money. And listening to ___-wing talk shows hosting by ___ closet cases.
All Americans are like that (AAALT)
The United States 's owned by the Vatican!
Hail the Great Satan
White South Africans are also heavily religious
>USA
>developed country
>t. mudhut dweller
what a bad cope
You can criticize USA all you want, but it's OVER-developed
the enormous resources they're sitting on. which means any economic damage from their repeated moronation can be easily plugged up by those resources.
Prussia was developed and religious, So too was England, France as well once upon a time.
Sweden also developed and was religious.
>How did America become the only seriously religious developed country in the world?
It isn't, its just the proles & poors who are religious. Your elites don't give a frick.
Dzéus bless America. Dzéus bless the White Race. Dzéus Vult!
Religiosity spiked during the Cold War due to mortality salience. It wasn't particularly religious.
It use to be. It’s on the decline now anyway. America is now 63% Christian. That’s lower than many European nations.
You are not alone. Don't forget Poland and East Europe.
Whitest country in South America = most pro-lgbt
Whitest country in Africa = most pro-lgbt
Why are whites like this?
>Whitest country in Africa = most pro-lgbt
South Africa only became Pro-LGBT after the end of Apartheid under the black government. Before that white run South Africa had "conversion therapy" for gays.
You just know China wold be super gay if they weren’t being held back by an authoritarian party
China's attitudes towards homosexuality is complicated. They don't condemn it as "REE ABSOLUTE DEGENERATE EBIL" as Abrahamics do, but they consider homosexuality as more of a fetish than a gender identity and gays as freaks who are too focused on their sexual fetish.
Besides in Confucian morality, what is bad is addiction to sex, hetero or otherwise, as it leads you to harm social ties and forget your duties to your family/society/etc.
Based Global South, Westoids should all be nuked.
Research was done on this and it was found that America’s guarantee of religious freedom made Christianity into some kind of market where you can pick and choose your type of preferred Christianity. America has so many Christian sects, it’s unbelievable.
It was found that countries with state churches historically like Scandinavia were less religious as a result
I am so tired of Europoids saying America is religious just because they live in a godless dystopia. Just because Europeans really hate God, doesn't mean that Americans really love God.
About 40% of all the children in America are literal bastards. It's about the same in Europe. The only difference between us and you is that Europeans don't bother LARPing as Christian, but we do.
American people will literally tell you they're Christian and then in the next breath tell you that they believe the Bible isn't true. I am not BSing you. I will prove it to you, I can show it to you if you doubt me.
America is not religious, much less seriously religious. We hate God, we hate children, we hate life and we love sexually perverted things, mammon, gossiping, anything that degrades and humiliates. We want more of that.
Kind of the impression I got of america as a non-american. Saying
your a real Christian if you can't properly explain the trinity is a troll, but I do wonder how many people claiming to be Christian know even the basic theology and believe in it. Though I suppose that percentage was probably always low
I would have once said puritans but New England is now the most godless place in America along with California so it’s probably something else like more religious freedom creating a greater market
How is it with the exception of the commie Europe's most Western province, the Czech Republic, that most of the Warsaw Pact has become more religious since it's collapse?
Black folk. The Bix Nood are religious, if you count loudly crying to JEBUS to help them knock over liquor stores as religion anyway.
You forgot Poland
80% of religious Americans don't live their lives any differently than irreligious Americans, its just a LARP.
Christianity is kind of an easy religion to do that with, you don't really have to give up anything to be Christian.
I wager part of the reason why is that European countries had state churches that were conservative and tied to the monarchies, so liberalism/democracy became associated with being anti-religion. USA never had a state church, so religion was never seen as an arm of the state like it was in Europe.
Not really. Christianity at least demands repentance, meaning a cessation of some evil behavior. Anyone who refuses to repent cannot meaningfully be considered Christian. It's literally one of the only things you have to do and it is also incredibly difficult.
>Christianity at least demands repentance, meaning a cessation of some evil behavior
What constitutes "evil behavior" is up to interpretation. Its not like Islam where it is "No pork" and "no alcohol" which requires a change to your life style.
Lack of real socio-political institutions. Since they were abruptly imported all at once instead of having been developed through centuries, thats the result you get.
What happened in the americas was as if you gave a motorcycle to someone who only knew how to ride a horse, and then put him right away on a highway: since he had no clue about how to drive a motorcycle, he ended up trying to 'ride' it, which in the long run ended up in a forced way to make it move, by getting the same old horse to pull it.
>seriously religious
A lot of things, the foundation of the original colonies by religious zealots, and Ironically freedom of religion meant that various folk types of Christianity could spread with no interference from state backed Churches. A lot of European backlash against religion originates with the close relationship between state sponsored Churches the government and the persecution and corruptions that came with it. There were some states with official Churches in America at the time of the founding, but they were quickly done away with in favor of general acceptance of any form of protestant Christianity, with a grudging tolerance of israelites and Catholics.
>general acceptance of any form of protestant Christianity
Maybe that was the mistake. t. Richelieu
The good side was that USA ended up with the best form of freedom of speech, so there's that.
The USA is literally an dystopian / utopian meme of the earth's various religions, it's literally a "safe place" for all.
But there is a catch, the israelites leads the place.
America is the New Israel, a city upon a hill that cannot be hidden. We have a covenant with God written into the DOI and the Constitution, our Law. We even had an Exodus where slaves were freed. Abraham Lincolmn and Harriet Tubman were the American Moseses and George Washington is the American Abraham Lincoln.
*American Abraham
Woops
It isn't. The census has the major three (catholic, protestant, mormon) down 26%, 22%, 47% over a twenty year period, respectively.
truck drivers aren't our best or brightest.
It's good to know this guy is going to have his job taken by a 16 year old because he didn't get his clot shot. His family will go homeless and starve, and I'll bring a bag of popcorn and watch happily.
