Christian Nation

[Darkstar]

Compare the number of homosexual politicians voted into office in the United States with those elected in Europe.

I have to apologise, somehow I read your statement wrong and read that we in Europe "didn`t" value individuality, because of our "non-christian" culture.

I'm not sure if it is so much America's culture, per se, but that Christianity is the dominant religion, and it frowns upon homosexuality. Maybe it just seems like America has a Christian culture because many people in America are Christians and like to think that being Christian is being American.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_T...Article_11

The treaty was a routine diplomatic agreement but has attracted later attention because the English version included a clause about religion in the United States.
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen [Muslims],—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan [Muslim] nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
