I don't hate religious people but I hate how religion has so much dominance here. I feel like if we (USA) were more like Britain or Europe the first thing i mentioned wouldn't be a problem, and overall, we would have less backward ideas.
I honestly wish I lived in sweden denmark norway new zealand or some scandinavian country. I honestly have a hard time on dating websites here because it's about 99% religious people in the dating pool. It really disgusts me especially considering the life I could be living if I lived in a beautiful scandinavian country. Better schools, healthier food, more beautiful landscape (it's nothing but flat industrial wasteland where I live as far as they eye can see). America nauseates me.
If it's any comfort most of them are probably nominal Christians too afraid to take that extra step to stop believing. But the nominal Christians do kind of help keep things the way they are.
