The decline of evangelical Christians.

Russia may be far more conservative, but it's far less religious than America. 43% of Russians are "nones", which is more than Russian Orthodox Christians, in fact the level of disbelief is far more comparable to the Scandinavian countries than America.

Quote:"Christianity is the only moral force"?  No that is your tribalism speaking. I am quite sure if you ask enough Muslims or Jews or Buddhists, they'd argue the same. And that is pretty narcissistic of a claim on a planet of 7 billion. 

Well, I was referring to America, were these groups are marginal, but I'll revise it to Judeo-Christianity is the only moral force. Absent of it there is no such thing as a moral force in America.

Quote:Ok, lets say suddenly all 7 billion humans suddenly believed in a magic baby with super powers? Do you think even then, there would only be one sect of Christianity and never any disputes or wars between Christians, and prisons wouldn't exist at all? Sorry, but past history proves there is no part of the globe, in any religion of the world, that has not had points of internal conflicts between the sub sects, not just with other religions.

History proves, that if there's enough differences between any group, there's bound to be conflicts within them, and given particular conditions this can turn into violence. Countries that have been immune to this, have been able to retain a high level of homogeny, and often have a hard time when foreigners and others are introduced into their populations.

Some are able to work those differences out, and other's are still struggling to do so.

Secondly most christians seem to be able to get along with other christians from different christian sects pretty well, even if they have theological differences. There is more conflict between liberals and conservatives, feminist and non-feminist, etc... than there is between christian sects in America.
