High aspartame and HFCS intake, descendents from weird religious cranks, many and all of these factors could play a part in the unusual Amerifat genus.

Megachurches get a lot of attention - that's what they specialize in - but as proportion of the country they're barely noticeable. I don't even know anyone who's been inside of one, or who's ever watched one of those televangelist programs. And I'm a hick. If I haven't, it's gotta be a rare thing.

The guy with the t-shirt would make a good trap

Could be the tribalistic divisions in American society that make them so eager to search for a safe identity and ingroup, forcing people to put their faith in charismatic leaders in greater extent than people in, say, Europe do.

Its not because they're American, it's because they have more chrisians than any other country. Christians are raised from birth to be brainless sheep. Don't even mean this in an attacking way, it's literally truthful as any honest Christian will tell you

That's because those kind of people can't find an audience in Australia or New Zealand. They wouldn't be there if there wasn't a demand for crazy. Don't blame us.

At least they barely have Orthodoxes. Russia is majority Orthodox Christian and Orthodoxy is basically an Islam-light. I don't think American Christians threat to burn cinemas where "bad" movies are shown, I don't think they attack rock concerts. At least you can't be imprisoned for blasphemy in USA. American Christians don't propose to ban condoms in a country with an HIV epidemic. I think only minority of them advocates banning gays and atheists etc. They don't want to ban Halloween and other western shit as "satanic". So American Christianity is a meme.

A large amount of us Christians severely dislike Joel Osteen and his ilk.
