quote:
It is of interest that the East and West coasts where the largest concentrations of institutes of higher education are located are more accepting.
Not just that, but the US coasts tend to have a much greater ethnic and cultural diversity; just the cities of New York and Los Angeles alone probably represent much of the US's mixing of these elements of society.
Another intellectual disconnect that I find fascinating is the obvious mistake these people are making about who is morally bankrupt in the US.
I mean, if they just thought for a minute...
1) They believe that the us is in a moral decline.
2) This has coincided with an increse in Fundamentalist Christianity
3) The politicians who seem to be the most connected with Fundies also seem to be the most corrupt.
4) The corporate robber barons who are shockingly amoral are certainly not Athiests...
