What is it about America? Does America's education system just suck?

[kılıç_mehmet]

Here in the UK theres almost noone who still believes in creationism, and the majority of young people are atheists.

If you go to church you just find it full of old and middle aged people, and some captive kids who are forced to go. I guess we're smarter than our parents generation.

What is it about America that so many people still believe in the virtually literal word of the Bible and are such strong Christians.

Do they actually teach kids science and evolution in American schools?

It makes me think either Americans are genetically stupider than other countries or their education system must be absolutely terrible.

Have you travelled to the US to make such claims, friend?
Even I, with my staunch anti-american sentiments, have not really criticized the US and the Americans in such ways that you did.
I seriously don't think that the UK is a place that you present it to be, nor that there are no young people that have belief in religion. From what I can gather, you are also home to a large number of minorities from other nations, and you have a small scale civil war based on denominational divisions in Northern Ireland. I believe you are in no position to criticize the US or the Americans on any scale, who do not have a head of the state that is a head of the church at the same time.
