Why do you think the US is more religious than the UK?
An interesting question came up a few minutes ago, and people generally agreed that the UK is far less religious than the UK. It seems that Religion is very prominent, in the US with Televangelists, "in god we trust." on money. Posters stuck up everywhere, debate as to weather ID should be taught alongside evolution. Whilst in the UK I have never seen any of this sort of thing. In the UK there are people who are religious (far fewer in statistical terms) are not so loud and proud about it, compared to what I have experienced in the US.
what do you think makes us (two culturally similar nations really) think so differently about religion?

To Nicole, people are allowed handguns, (little known though) but the controls for getting one are very very tight and controls about getting a gun in general are much tighter over here, but that is because lessons were learned from the Dunblane Massacre. But it seems to me, lessons have not been learned from columbine, or Virgina tech, and guns are more important to the US population than the safety of their kids. Our economy is also actually very good, go onto google, and type pound to dollar, and tell me what you see?
