That aside, the U.S. is still very lax on allowing religious doctrine to be inserted into non-religious affairs. You wouldn't see what happened in Australia happen here...at least not in the next few decades.
Australia is a much less religiously observant country than America. To give an example a Christian organisation (Olive Tree Media) in their Australian Communities survey reported that 50% (18% of that were spiritual but did not identify with a religion) of Australians did not identify with a religion, compared to less than 20% in the United States. In contrast Evangelical Christians are around perhaps 5% of the population.

Well of course. Land of the free, home of the brave, and dumping ground for Europe's puritans. Besides that, the christians here are far more militant about it. It's like this constant battle to keep America christian.
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!?
