The political/religious landscape of tha US.

Ever since the age of enlightenment, "Christiam Churches" have lost members in Europe, especially in the last few decades.

Not so in the US. Especially TV Evangelist gather more and more followers. They are a major "political factor". Their interpretation of the Gospel turns them into Religious Extremists, same as some fractions of the Muslim community.

The point is reached, that no atheistic politician would ever be elected into higher office in the US.

The agenda of those religious zealots is simple: Turn back the clock 200 years. All based on a Middle Eastern God that created the world in 6 days and repeatetly said that he was the God of the Isrealites only AND NOBODY ELSE.

Amazing how the God of the Israelites determines the  political future of a modern day society like the US.

Must conclude that the age of enlightenment and the age of reason was prevented to gain entry "in the heartland" of the US for the last 200 years, up to this day.
