I've had a quick tour of all the Yahoo Answers Worldwide and the religious questions seem to be quite sensible and level headed. Go to the USA version and there's endless lists of bible quotations. What's going on over in America? Do these people have power in government?

A large proportion of Americans are parochial, they have little contact with Old Europe or exposure to enlightened thought. Only 10% of Americans hold passports???? If this is true , it reveals a nation of introverts, unworldly, and naive. We (the Brits) are partly to blame, having sent those religious crackpot sects to the colonies, we can hardly be surprised that after years of isolated evolution, the Americans are undeniably backward!

not even an in intensity evaluation. Fundamentalist Muslims. they're extra likely to attempt & deliver you to hell even as they bomb you and your household. there is purely church no state for them. The international places ruled by them you'll see people getting stoned for breaking their guidelines. And seeing women people gang raped & beheaded for wearing makeup and their head placed on a stake on the community marketplace. And palms reduce off for stealing. adverse left neglected because that is Allah's will they're adverse. women people saved uneducated, abused and residing in worry of their personal kinfolk you do not imagine they get a lot of a decision what they get to do with their bodies or who they marry.. etc etc. you extremely favor THIS over what we've on the prompt contained in the u . s . no matter if some guidelines might want to get replaced? Your over exaggerated & lower than-suggested worry of Fundamentalist Christians and them exercising consultation their good of representation in our democracy looks quite light to what extremely is going on by Fundamentalist Muslims.

There aren't that many Christian fundamentalists in the US. They only claim to be Christians and sadly, yes they do hold a certain amount of power in the government.
Blessed Be

Because Europeans don't know their Bible. In fact, churches in Europe are growing empty, and evangelism is seldom heard. Europeans might be good at guessing and giving their opinions of things, but they probably won't back it up with any Scriptural authority.

Considering the founding fathers (and mothers) of the USA were the european 'fundamentalists' of their time ... and I'm sure Bush once said he was fighting the war on terror for God so does that answer your question?

People aren't murdered or imprisoned for believing in Jesus Christ, Son of God, Lamb of God (atonement) & Resurrection here.
There is freedom to believe in Gods Saving Grace as we choose.
It is called the 1 Amendment to the Constitution; and separation of church & state.

Why not have Christianity in a nation? Christians believe that if a nation exalts God, then a nation will be exalted by God. I'm a Christian here in the US and I see nothing wrong with God, Christianity, or morals.

We call them bible thumpers- it's the same reason we still challenge evolution in schools and why Monkeyman George Bush is pres.
There are plenty of morons in America.
