That's how Europe purged itself of its "religious nutters." Just crank up the heat and offer them the opportunity to thumb their nose at others and "rule in hell" by hopping on a ship. And that's why America is so "red ant." It was founded by a bunch of crazy fuckers. It's genetic. It's in the blood.If my American history serves, it's actually the opposite: people left for the Americas to escape religious persecution. That's why the Founding Fathers of the USA were so against religious influence in politics (First Amendment, Treaty of Tripoli, the various letters written by the Fathers, etc).
