Americans seem very christian????
    #8967037 - 09/22/08 06:11 AM (15 years, 5 months ago)

As some of you may know I've been sick for the last week. And so sleeping on the couch and watching too much TV.
After watching allot of American shows, I was surprised to see how many seem christian.

Walking around thanking the 'Laaawd' for this, and thank 'Gaawwd' for that.

Is it a weird figure of speech or are allot of Americans christian?

I think it's part of our subconscious er something.

I can't count how many non-christians say "oh god" during sex.

Yeah I know what your saying Polantis, I think maybe though it's more just that we are very 'Atheist' here in Australia. Cause' I know plenty of people who have been baptised, but the majority of them would consider themselves as Atheists anyway.

Well that's what I was wondering. I even tell people that I'm not Christian when they say 'Bless you' when I sneeze.

Just interested to know what Americans think on this topic? As in whether they 'are' christian or whether it's just as Aroundthesun said and it's more a figure of speech.
Like 'bloody' here in Aus, which is also quite odd. 'Bloody car'  'The car is bleeding?' haha

Yeah Americans are mega Christian, probably because they were colonised by religious extremists (the Pilgrims).

And we were colonised by petty criminals...

Naw, it's become a figure of speech, even though we do have our fair share of religious loonies. Having said that, don't judge us all by the actions of a few extremists.

Those "religious loonies" are in the majority by far.

Good point, but wouldn't that mean we'd have a higher crime rate than US?

Some parts of the US are mega-religious, and some parts aren't. In the southeast, the traditional lawwwwd is King. Up here in the northeast, not so much. Midwest is loaded, but California is kinda free... with it's own brand of cults and lunatics!

But it seems to be woven into the overall fabric, and people are just too PC to say otherwise... Many agnostic/atheists in the US simply 'go with the flow' so they don't look like heathen bastards to the average Joe.

American TV is very, VERY fake... I'm sure you know, but it's even more fake than you could believe. :smile:

Judging by that comment, you sound like a very miserable old sod.

Also, not all people who say "bless you" when someone sneezes are Christians.

Crikey, mate!

Its strange how different it is across the country. When my brother moved back to Oklahoma from Alaska he was in shock. He said in Alaska you see a bar or liquor store on every corner and few churches. But in OK you see a church on every corner and few bars. My Grandma lives on a block with 4 churches on it.
