I think there is a large problem with America and education. To give you an example I received almost no education in Evolution in K-12 in Florida. Of course because I ended up attending a conservative Christian school there was little to nothing said about it either besides some really bad attempt on trying to show evolution was wrong via some protein complexity/fungal complexity or some weird thing.
Our education is definitely a huge problem here and so is the huge push for theistic based laws. However, I think that the ultra conservative Christianity which is plaguing us may naturally get smaller and smaller. The "liberal" Christianity which focuses more on love and service is getting ever increasingly popular I think so perhaps Christianity will continue to evolve.
I don't think its the shit-hole that some people make it out to be though. There are a lot of cool people here still who try to mind their own business and just have a good time. I don't really have a problem with a lot of Christians because they honestly are good people who are just trying to make it. They don't force their beliefs down your throat and they may or may not discuss it with you.
I really hate the media here in several ways because it paints certain pictures which I am not sure are representing what is really going on -.-. I don't plan on hopping ship to Europe etc any time soon either. I think America still has great potential.
Back to the liberalizing of Christianity for a moment because I think it is relevant. I was a part of a very conservative Christian denomination and I remember hearing over and over how many people were flocking to these "liberal denominations" and all of these community churches etc. The more that happens, the more ultra conservatism will die out. So I am more curious than fearful about America's future.
