There is a larger percentage of non-believers here (than in the US at large) so when they do speak up it probably feels as if the wheels are coming off to those that aren't used to having their faith challenged. 8^)
The US is an anomaly. It is the only 'developed' country in which a majority (59%) of people feel religion is very important. That's 33% in the UK and only 18% of Brits are practicing members of an organised religion. The numbers are even lower in such countries as France, Germany and Japan.
So to me it seems like there is far too much religious babble on the list.
