The US ain't Europe. I wish we were more like Europe but we're not.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were speaking about Americans specifically; there were no geographical/national referents in your post.

I'm still not so sure we Americans can't and won't navigate the same transition with a similar grace. I think it's already started, given the demographics of the religious over the last 20 or so years.
