Because this is the only country in the world where churches ar not taxed. The Finns have the master plan for keeping religion to a minimum - people there have to pay a tax to belong to the church. Brilliant idea that should be incorporated on a global scale.

I am sorry, but that is propaganda. Romans were NOT Christians nor Catholics. They were originally Pagan. Catholics came along after 200 years from Christ's death when Constantine tried to unite his people under one God and Religion. As for USA being gullible, I think you are barking up the wrong country. Either do your research or quite "Bearing false Witness against your neighbor!" We do before we accept a religion. Let me guess, you're not American (probably getting information off youtube or twisted interpretations from YOUR news media, and you are probably Muslim. LEARN before you lambaste us again. I will never be politically correct and accept the hatred of others since I know the USA doesn't deserve it.

I think there are lots of "cranky" religions all over the world. You just know more about the ones in America.

God said that His foundation is in Zion, not Mecca, not Persia, and definitely not America. According to Daniel, the "war beast" would have powerful war nations leading them. Their aim is to make war with the "seed of Abraham. Is it fulfillment of Scripture or coincidence that every nation prophetically shown in the 10 toes of the Beast either made war with or enslaved all of the seed of Abraham?
Since the devil tries to imitate anything God plants on earth, did he not set up a golden calf for the Philistines, the Chaldeans, and all the antagonists of Abraham's seed? If America is the standard bearer for the Unicorn, why should she not have her golden calf also?

I'm American, and I don't hold any cranky things like that. Are you generalizing all Americans, have you ever traveled outside of Franko-land?
How gullible are you, are you some kind of bigot?

Why assume that? All religions around the world - cranky or not - require indoctrnation and gullibiliy.

A country with religious freedom and lots of disposable income. It's like a crazy-religion farm.

It has more to do with the development of fringe religious groups here. Unlike most countries, here you can't really do anything about what people believe. These groups go unchecked as a result.

I suppose Americans are the best swindlers. Pity... I hate for people to be taken in by cults.

Most "new" religions start here and flourish here because of our FREEDOMS. Not because of being gullible.
