I'd like to take a survey. Please answer the following questions.?

Question

1. Are American Christians more intolerant of "non-believers" than are Christians of other countries? (yes or no is fine, or explain if you'd like)

2. What religion/faith/philosophy do you adhere to?

3. What country do you consider your own?

Yeah. I realize that some people may not "know" any American Christians but the US is such a prevalent worldwide (media) force that it seems a fair question to at least ask about perceptions.

Actually, mypublicident: I'm going to post this on P&S too to see if there are any differences. :)

Answer 1

I think the fundamentalist or born again Christians are the most intolerant. We have quite a few here in the U.S. I am not sure if there are as many in other areas of the world. From what I have seen and heard from people of other countries, the Christians of the United States are more intolerant. Again, I mean fundamentalists, not Christians in general whom I find very loving.
I am a Buddhist living in the United States.

Answer 2

1 - You cannot make such a global statement. There are intolerant people everywhere. There are some political/religious leaders in the USA who preach intolerance. However, when you talk to people in on a one-on-one basis, most people are pretty open. And, there are intolerant people everywhere.

2 - Raised Christian, but never a regular church goer. I am now somewhere between an Agnostic and an Atheist. But I am married to a Jewish woman and we are raising our children as Jews.

3 - USA, but I am anti-nationalistic. I believe the USA is a great country, but people be spout crap like "my country, right or wrong" really tick me off.

Answer 3

1. I don't know. The only American Christians I run into are on this board and I don't know who exactly is an American or who isn't.

Taking a media representation as fact is always dangerous, because they're only interested in excitement, not reality. There was a documentary on BBC here about a group of extreme Christians who were out to get gays ... but I never considered for a moment that the image presented was the typical American Christian.

2. I am atheist.

3. I'm from and live in England.

Answer 4

1. Are American Christians more intolerant of "non-believers" than are Christians of other countries? (yes or no is fine, or explain if you'd like)

it depends on the country, some countries I would say no but in general european christians are more tolerant of non-christians. america is not the most tolerant country.

this is largely because all the people who hated wild european sex were the ones that founded this country in an effort to get away from all the wild european sex.

2. What religion/faith/philosophy do you adhere to?

agnostic- mostly athiest but my attitude is that if you provide legitimate proof of god's existance, then I will admit he/she/it/they exist.

3. What country do you consider your own?

america

Answer 5

1: no... americans seem more intolerant about many things other than religion. I know that it is not oppressive of most religions by law, but americans seem to have a hard time getting past the ego to truely appreciate differences in opinion. They feel strongly they are right, so you must be wrong. And now that i have ruffled the feathers of their ego, i will be getting some serious thumbs down....

2: Wittan... old Irish based witchcraft/ pagan

3: Ireland and USA. I split my time between the two and have dual citizenship.

3. None

Hebrews 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

From where I live, they seem to be



2. What religion/faith/philosophy do you adhere to?

Atheist



3. What country do you consider your own?

UK

Answer 9

1.) No.
2.) Agnostic and anti-religion
3.) USA

1.) As hard as it is to be a freethinker in the U.S., I know it's worse elsewhere . . . because I've lived all over the world. I'm currently an expatriate in the VERY Catholic country of The Philippines.

2.) I can't really decide if I'm an agnostic or deist. But I'm absolutely positive about my stance against religion. I believe that, if there is a God, He's a cosmic God, NOT a personal (i.e. Christian) God -- he's a creator, NOT a meddler. NO religion is valid. Period.

3.) I live in the Philippines but I'm still a U.S. citizen (and overdue on my income tax). I grew up as an "army brat". I moved from place to place, frequently. Until the age of 31, I never lived in one place for more than 3 years.

Answer 10

Yes they are more intolerant to the "non-believers"
I do not have a faith or religion, I follow my own philosophy.
I do not consider any country my own because it is not mine, and even if I owned a country it would not be mine literally, because it would be the Earths. But if you mean what country I belond to, then I live in the U.S.A. though I am just a small part of the Earth.
