... Now, go back to hate-bashing muslims, America.
Also, to the people who connect racism to atheism: Stop ... The most secularised countries in the world are the most democratic and free ones. The USA is barely in the top 20 of democratic countries in the world, Sweden has been top 3 for ages, topping the list several times.

Also, how come criminality in the United States is far _higher_ in areas with high amounts of Christian influence? And how come Christians are over-represented in your prisons? And how come recidivism rates are sky-high in America (save for the people, including hundreds of innocents, you execute) compared to Sweden or Norway (who has the highest rehabilitation efficiency in the world).

Americans need to stop being arrogant and start accepting that they're not the greatest nation in the world.
