    It's probably a more accurate depiction of Americans! Maybe we need to explore the reason Americans feel the need to be so religious, to the extreme point of it having a negative effect on the society. Maybe it's more to do with the unwarranted fear they carry as baggage, I think this irrational terror they have needs to be addressed before religion. I also think that this was very anti-Christian, rather than anti-religion. It's a pretty biased argument, interesting, but biased!

    After 1 minute and 48 seconds enough of the tripe.

    Religion based on scripture is.....James 1:28....Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless, and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

    The US is the most apostate country in the world.

    Also 70 million abortions in about 30 years proves how godless she is.

    Scripture talks about about the narrow way and how few will go that way.

    Many will prefer to walk the broad way, the road to destruction.

    Scripture backs up that there are very few genuine believers in the world including the US.

    Religion thrives where reason fails.

    Rationality is the only faculty that allows humans to distinguish the real from the unreal, the truth from falseness, the just from the unjust, and the moral from the immoral.

    The morality of a country reflects the sum total of the morality of the individuals that compone it.

    Not really.

    What is the teen pregency rate in Amish communities?

    How about the murder rate in Amish communities?

    How about the divorce rate in Amish communities?

    Essentially non-existant. If that was an accurate depiction of religion this should not be the case.

    Where people actually live their faith, the problems referred to in your video are non-existant. Faith in Christ is not the cause for these social ills.

    Of course you could argue that the hypocritical notion that faith in Christ does not also encompass living that faith could be a part of it!

    Cool video.

    Where were these facts compiled? I agree with them, but I'd like substantiation on the numbers.

    Peace Mon.

    no, this is a bit odd, calling Great Britain a "Godless country". it's not an accurate depiction of religion. and I'm sure Atheist teens get themselves pregnant too.
