I’m from Europe and now live in the United States, and I can tell you without a doubt that Americans are much more religious than Europeans. I think the secular media is a reaction to these socially restrictive religious beliefs. In Europe, especially the United Kingdom, it’s kind of ‘uncool’ to be religious – kind of like having no common sense or believing in Santa Claus. I think the United States needs more of a separation of church and state, because the country is so religious and there needs to be an awareness of the relgious right. This level of religiosity creates problems when dealing with laws such as abortion, birth control, etc. – often conforming to religious doctrine rather than creating practical solutions to real problems. I also find that in the United States there is a lot of separation due to religion. Jews and Muslims seem to ‘stick to their own,’ whereas Christians and Catholics intemingle a bit more. Having said this, I think Europeans are not without morals just because they’re not religious.
