I find it hard to really understand the religiously prejudiced attitude in parts of the US. Those who think this way seem to be ignorant of the real meaning of the Constitution of or basic priniciples of Christianity as a loving compassionate faith. In New England, which I am most familiar with their seems to be less of this. That part of the United States is very much like Canada in that religion is largely seen as a personal matter not to be inflicted on other.<br /><br />When my brother and his wife moved to North Carolina years ago they soon learned not to talk about religion or politics.<br /><br />In my posting I was going to put in a line after my remark that in the US you are expected to belong to a church any church will do, a further remark to the effect that if some people really understood what my church was about they would be protesting in front of my church and house. I have heard my denomination referred to as the Anti-Christ with little understand that it is a religion deeply rooted in the American liberal tradition with it's roots in the New England enlightenment of the early 19th Century and back to the founding fathers. <br /><br />I wonder how well history and American values are taught in the US. What I hear about in education going on in Texas these days it makes me wonder even more.
