Weird, huh. Maybe it's arrogance? You know, the most powerful nation in the world and all that. I mean, it doesn't have to be that way. Your government could make subtle changes that would gradually ease the stranglehold that fundamentalist Christians have on your society. These changes would make America an even more powerful nation, but they don't have to; you guys already are the most powerful. That's arrogance.

Statistically, out of the 300 million people in the United States only about 20 million are fundamentalist. It's just that they're so annoying it seems like there a lot more of them.
