Why are Americans so religious?
Discussion
Compared with other similarly developed countries in Europe, but also elsewhere eg Japan or China, Americans are much more religious, not just in the percentage believing in god but those for whom religion is an important part of their daily lives. But why is that the case?
Religion used to be a fundamental part of European life too and most Americans have their roots in Europe and are Christians. How is it that the importance of religion has dwindled in Europe but still holds firm in the US?
On the topic of religion in the US has anyone else been reading about project 2025? Pretty scary stuff (if you are not a Christian fundamentalist - or rather a white male Christian fundamentalist).
