Is America full of "White Fundamental Christian Evangelists"?

Question

I'm not from that country , but I have a feeling , if you aren't one of the above , you're ridiculed from the start , that goes for both Democrats & Republicans. Thank goodness (I was going to use the word Ch**st) we don't have that outlook... we're all heathens hahahaha!!

Answer 1

I hope so.

Answer 2

That's a small minority, usually found in the south.
I'm white...that's about it.
I'm not religious, and I catch some flak for it sometimes, but it really doesn't bother me that much. Most of my friends are christians, as well as many people I know, and we all co-exist just fine.
Democrats and republicans can also get along, believe it or not.
I grew up going to schools with white, black, asian, middle-eastern, spanish, and real heavy mix of all sorts of people. Most would hang around thier "own kind"....for lack of a better term, but for the most part, everybody usually got along, and any problems those arose between different nationalities were based on personal situations, rather that racially based.
The view you have of us is mostly just a stereotype, and from what I've seen when I've travelled to other countries, thier media LOVES to paint a bad picture of us, and hype up any little thing that goes wrong. I was amazed at how some European countries portray us to be here, and it was often totally inaccurate.
Sure we have problems here, just like any other country does, but since we are always in the spotlight (for various reasons), you often only see the negatives blown way out of proportion, making us look bad on purpose.
So.....what you said about people being ridiculed because they are not 1 of the above mentioned (in your statement), it does happen, but probably not how you think.
I suppose we can't all be perfect, and I sure don't claim to be.
SO......hopefully that clarifies a few things for you, and I hope you won't always see us as what your imagination and media paints us to be.
Have a good one!

Answer 3

Fortunately no, but they are so many on the far right that pose a real threat to America. They are the members of White Supremacy Militias and Extremist hate groups that believe that there is a huge Jewish conspiracy that controls our government. These are individuals that believe in the same values as the Oklahoma City Bombers did. And their words are being preached by televangelists like Pat Robertson, the Graham family and the late Jerry Fallwell Unfortunately the Republican party listens to heavily to these groups and not the general public.

Answer 4

Well, there are "White Fundamental Christian Evangelists", but there are also 'heathens', Buddhists, Muslims, and Jews as well. This is one of the wonderful things about America. Unlike where it is that you're apparently from, America is a society full of diversity. It's one of our great strengths and a major contributor to our evolution as a super power rather than a back water...as I'm thinking you are 'from'. hahahahaha!!

Answer 5

I'm white and a Christian but do not hold to extremist fundamental beliefs and am not an evangelist. Extremism is dangerous in any religion whether it be Christianity or Islam.

Answer 6

properly, for the reason which you of course do no longer understand, an Islamic Muslim could by no skill attend a Christian church. And Senator Obama isn't anti-usa in any respect. in case you study his e book, The Audacity of wish, the final sentence in his text fabric is this: My heart is finished for the country i like. Now does that sound anti-usa to you?

Answer 7

There are a butt load of them, enough to affect our elections, but not enough to hold the sway that your impression gives. There are more of "us" than "them." That helps a great deal when they try to insert their religious ideals into our laws. The best example I can give you is that even conservative Republicans weren't willing to let them add discrimination to our Constitution when they tried to pass the marriage amendment preventing gays from ever marrying. We still manage to keep their obvious desire for a theocracy at bay. Dare I say "Thank God?"

Answer 8

No.
13% of the population is Black
15% of the population is Hispanic.

But they vote in larger numbers than the rest and have more power than they deserve.

Answer 9

There appears to be a large contingent of raving space loon anarchists, liberals, and atheists sprinkled in for balance. Extremists on both sides would be funny if they weren't also so scary.

Answer 10

I don't know where you are from but there are a whole bunch of religious people in America. You probably hear the loud mouths that hate it louder than you hear the soft spoken, voters in action.

Answer 11

Thankfully no and they are shrinking. Sometime within the next 50 years or so they are expected to disappear completely.
