Why are Americans so much more religious than Europeans?

Why are Americans so much more religious than Europeans?

Stupidity and white trash, oh wait they're synonymous!

God protects those that are loyal to him. American is the only nation that seems to have caught on to this.

t. someone from a godless nation

The religious nutpots of europe, wanting to free themselves from religious orthodoxy, ran to the Americas to start a new life.
So it's full of weird offshoot christian sects.

There are more dignified ways of accumulating (You)'s.

Because Christianity is a part of white culture. If you aren't christian you are part of the problem... it's very simple... Deus Vult Brothers

Because one of the main reasons America was founded was for religious freedom.

Europe is being plagued by Islam, and we are not.

makes you think.

Go fuck yourself this place is filled with fucking redneck Nazis. It's pathetic and I hate it. I came here after some guys on the Donald said it was filled with some cool redpilled dudes and I get here and there's fucking women with dicks and Bible thumping failed abortion white racist asshats. Grow the fuck up.

Big baby Puritans get the ball rolling back in the olden days. They were annoying religious fanatics

This. Too bad America's dedication to God is slowly eroding as well. As we depart from his teachings we soon will also know the fate that the European countries have brought upon themselves.

Out of everyone in the world that is actively trying to destroy your way of living, why is it you pick the Christians who don't do much and just preach to an ever dwindling crowd of people?

Do you want a real answer?

The Civil War.

that's not why
that's not why
that's not why
Stop thinking about the Puritans, they were an irrelevant artifact of their time and have little or nothing to do with the origins of American religiosity, which is a more recent phenomenon stemming from a post-civil-war society coming to grips with the enormity of their human losses.

I'm a Christian. I recognize we are losing believers. I didn't say dwindling number to chastise the faith.

Who pissed in your coffee?

How can you remain dedicated to God when all we want is war?

>fucking redneck nazis are the worst
>let me conveniently avoid mentioning muslims, the eternal leaf, sven's gaping asshole, hans' darkened appearance, and france's lack of brakes
>yet rednecks are the problem

The opposite is true. Europeans are much more religious than Americans.
Half of Europe are devout believers in the religion of global warming, and the other half are muslim(or will be soon).

Perhaps after two world wars, and an ongoing invasion by Muslims, God probably hates Europeans.

>The Civil War.
How so?

Either

A) America was founded by religious nut jobs, so it carried over

B) Europe is full of heathen faggots who will be tested in the flames upon death

Well recently my faith has increased a great deal, and I believe it is because I am being prepared for very hard times that will come ahead. Also preparing for a 21 day fast. Who do you mean by we?

Your joking right?

My local church is totally empty.

They are the worst but those other things are bad too but I'm not SURROUNDED by fucking the others all the time. I seriously cannot believe how stupid my fellow countrymen are sometimes.

they arent

american christianity is mostly a ridiculous joke, all wrapped up in american nationalism, american exceptionalism and capitalism other unrelated shit

>the country that spawned the mormon abomination
>even knowing what christianity is
lol

there are some real american christians but the majority are just larpers

probably this

You are the biggest faggot in this thread.

Was the deadliest war in American history.

because america is a synagouge of satan.

im not joking. we really are.

why do you think theres occult in the captials.

Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses may be crackpots but at least they're almost all white and have tons of kids

Shut the fuck up , oswalt , enjoy the brown sausage , you rotund piece of excrement

>american exceptionalism
Are you implying we're not exceptional?

What does that have to do with it?

True to some extent, America is full of Evangelists and they are the biggest Christian larpers ive encountered.

spbp. shame this place is becoming like every other godless shithole by the minute.

All of the Jehova's Witness I've ever seen have been black.

Two world wars that took destroyed many cities and took the lives of millions will tend to make people irreligious. Aside from a few small battles, the world wars were not fought on American soil, so we never saw the conflict first hand like the Europeans. What's another place that was ravaged by war throughout the 20th century? East Asia. And, it's no coincidence that many people in East Asia are also irreligious as well.

I'm a fedora, but sympathetic to Chesteronian and Spinozan views in specific and cultural religiosity in general.

That said, the U.S.
>was founded by religious fanatics , even though much of its policy was informed by deists

>was decentralized just enough socially and governmentally pre-independence where different colonies were founded for different religious groups (Plymouth for puritans Maryland for Catholics) and post-independence allowed for fringe groups to split off into the woods and desert and form their own echo chambers

>different concept of rights and sovereignty .

In European structures the king was the sovereign and appointed by God, and through rights were allowed. Once the monarchy fell, so too did religiosity and instead of founding systems whereby rights are expansive, they founded new systems to replace the monarchy in administrating how rights are to apportioned and controlled

In the U.S. It was assumed that rights (negative rights ) were what people are born with, given by "God" or nature or we, that aren't infringed upon by others, which led to commerce and property ownership stemming from that. God became tied with money and prosperity, which was very living, where's Europe's Kings were dead or dying.

>How so?
Before then, we were largely not a religious country - certain communities were religious, but christianity was a nominal thing for the majority. Kind of like today. Come the Civil War, all of a sudden Mammie and Jammie back home have seen their brothers and sons turn from living people into memorial portraits. There was hardly a person in the nation that didn't lose close relatives. Some families lost more people than they had left by the end. So there was a general turn towards spirituality. Some people got into mysticism and all those associated flavors of bullshit, others preferred their bullshit to come with a church and a community structure. The common thread between ladies getting horoscopes and ladies becoming churchy is this - they wanted to feel close to those they had lost, and they wanted to feel catharsis for their loss. This led to the third, and greatest, wave of religious revivalism in the USA. Charismatic sects were already around, but they got HUGE after the war.

We aren't. Especially in Italian-America. Italian Americans are way less religious and way less catholic than our brothers and sisters across the pond. I am a Buddhist and most of my family is either Secular-Atheists, or Lutherans.

Where do you live? I'm in CO and every Jehovah's Witness I've met here is snow white

I met a Filipino Mormon once but almost all of them I've met have been white too

You fucking little piss ant of a coward. STAY THE FUCK ON R/EDDIT.

I live in Philadelphia. I see JW preaching and stuff and they're always black. My grandparents live in the suburbs where it's >90% white and we've had JW knock on the door and they were black too.

>Two world wars that took destroyed many cities and took the lives of millions will tend to make people irreligious.
Not necessarily. Destructive wars cause big shifts, but it's not guaranteed that the direction of the shift will be in any particular direction. Post-WW1 Europe lost faith in man and god, but post-CW America turned towards god as a way of dealing with their situation.

It wasn't until the 50s, when they started to use religion to fight communism.

You should see Buddhism here in Northern West Virginia/ Southwestern PA. Outside of Pittsburgh it is so white. I view Christianity as a sand nigger religion along with Islam and Judaism. All of which corrupt the minds of their white adherents.

Interesting theory.

Ah, there aren't a lot of black people in my general area so I've never met a black JW

Maybe if I lived in the Denver area I'd have met a few, but I'm not kidding when I say that literally every one of them I've met here is white with blonde hair and blue or grey eyes

>what did he mean by this?
>is X redpilled/degenerate/ourguy
>thoughts?
>explain?

>Believing in a higher power and that the big bang theory was just as likely the result of a higher power means you're stupid white trash
You have to be a leaf on a proxy. Something doesn't just magically come from nothing. We aren't the end result of some fruit-fly getting his fuck on billions of years ago. Deal with it.

I'm not in any organized religion, but God is still the real deal. So grow up.

check out all the big tent revivals that started around then

Europe is atheistic mostly due to Roman Catholic influence, weirdly enough. Note: I am Catholic.

Pretty much every Monarch in Europe was Catholic with the exception of the Anglos. Catholic institutions had huge influence among Monarchs and churches had a lot of special privileges and aristocratic classes, and such. When Europe rebelled against Monarchism, it rebelled against the Church. This is most prominent in the French Revolution, where the Catholic aristocratic class (including the King) were all fucking murdered and atheism was declared the state religion. One of the most notable exceptions is in Poland, which never had an absolute monarchy and had a very weird proto-Republican system that I believe is why Catholicism never went out of style in Poland. Without political justification, the Truth prevailed (also the forced state atheism of the USSR didn't help)

America, on the other hand, rebelled against its monarch good and early and never had the Catholic aristocratic system other countries had. We had our own aristocracy but it wasn't religious-based and was more regional. It culminated in the Civil War. We never had a reason to rebel against religion until Marxism came into the forefront, and the sociopolitical reasons for that burgeoning up in the past 30 years are complicated.

>We aren't the end result of some fruit-fly getting his fuck on billions of years ago.
Of course not, Arthropods are protostomes.

i am and it fucking sucks a fucking mosque 5 minutes away and local stores were fucking denied permit renewals where they were (we had multiple city hall meetings and violence on this) forcing the people to try to find new places to set up their stores in less prime areas, and then suddenly stores popped up in those lots with mexicans, indians, and fucking muslims running businesses - the SAME businesses that was already there. oh lookie-lou, the governor is a die-hard democrat and the democrats run the state and theyve pushed that common core, multiculturism shit on everyone.

but hey if i go down the highway maybe 20 minutes where its considered south, the people are fucking friendly and its as clean as things can be. ive had 1 redneck ever give me shit in my life. if i had to count, it would be easier to count how many blacks, mexicans, paki fucks, and chinese were NOT racist to me, and im korean

It's almost like the further away you get from leftist-run urban multicultural utopias, the less people tend to be pieces of shit

The leftist idea that cities are the ideal representation for the rest of the country is fucking retarded, I despise going to the city because everyone in that beautiful melting pot of races and cultures is a fucking rude, selfish shithead that would spit on you as soon as look at you

Europe has had more religious wars. The US hasn't had even one.

I was looking for a /Christian/ general, and even tried the ocho, but can someone please explain lent to me?

I tried some self reading but couldn't get why people give up stuff they love. Any specific passages?

i always see city faggots and shills complain about how southern towns and cities are racist. every time ive been to the south its always been enjoyful. they hold open doors for each other, say hello, have a nice day, thank you, yes/no ma'am, yes/no sir, and extremely welcoming. ive even spent a few weeks in bristol and johnson city tennessee and they are known to be "racist shitholes" but its always been enjoyable.

its always been some leftiest or minority piece of shit that has been racist as fuck, not some conservative or white (except for 1)

Truth. America is the promised land for God's true chosen (white people).

2 Nephi 1:9-11
9 Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise, that inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the land of Jerusalem shall keep his commandments, they shall prosper upon the face of this land; and they shall be kept from all other nations, that they may possess this land unto themselves. And if it so be that they shall keep his commandments they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, and there shall be none to molest them, nor to take away the land of their inheritance; and they shall dwell safely forever.
10 But behold, when the time cometh that they shall dwindle in unbelief, after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord—having a knowledge of the creation of the earth, and all men, knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord from the creation of the world; having power given them to do all things by faith; having all the commandments from the beginning, and having been brought by his infinite goodness into this precious land of promise—behold, I say, if the day shall come that they will reject the Holy One of Israel, the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them.
11 Yea, he will bring other nations unto them, and he will give unto them power, and he will take away from them the lands of their possessions, and he will cause them to be scattered and smitten.

Americans know that if you get rid of religion you end up with state worship and preacher politicians like Hitler.

I've never been further east than Kansas, so I can't really comment, but pretty much everyone I've met here who was from Georgia or Tennessee or what have you has been very pleasant and polite in general

Hell, even the Texans I know are stand-up folks with a good sense of hospitality and generally just not being a cunt, I kind of loathe the fact that I spent my childhood in die-hard blue western WA and have spent the last 16 years just north of die-hard blue central CO, people are absolute dirtbags in both areas

I romanticize a life somewhere in dixie

Man worships
>God
>the state
>himself
Anerica is the most successful nation in history because these three are in balance. Too much of one and you end up with an Islamic caliphate, a communist government, or self destructive hedonism

The church was used as tool off the state in europe while here it became a symbol of freedom.

I was going to move to Virginia, but so many leftist scum have fucked the state and its laws. Texas is probably our next choice, but even Texas is being flooded it seems to try to sway politics there

Dumbfuck the second revival happened before the civil war

>protestantism
Into the trash it goes. It's not even a true religion, it's civic morality only.

The true denomination is the one that knows Lucifer dindu nuffin

Tennessee or Kentucky don't seem like terrible choices, honestly, or even Mississippi

My problem is I don't know anyone who lives in the south and I've never been there, so just picking up and leaving for a place I have no familiarity or connections with is pretty intimidating

>pagan cuckolic

I'm talking about the third revival, Jemarcus

> This led to the third, and greatest, wave of religious revivalism in the USA.

I'm from the Midwest but I go to school in South Carolina. I'm in the city so really it's not all that different culturally from where I'm from and there are a shitload of northerners, but all the people I meet with the southern accents are /comfy/. There is literally nothing on this earth sexier than a pretty girl with a southern accent.

I should also add that good weather improves people's moods TREMENDOUSLY. That's part of why people are nicer down here. Even the niggers down here are ok. Except of course the ones you see walking at night

Don't listen to this dumb faggot.

America is, was, and always will be a nation founded on a fundamental belief in God. The Founding Fathers were a combination of Deists and Christians. And all of them were raised in the Christian tradition.

You are fucking dumb and know nothing of American history if you continue to spout that stupid ass bullshit. Fuck you.

Joseph Smith is a false prophet

>America
>A Christian nation
It's probably because we are always reminded of it.

Yeah, check that out. Germany was a Christian nation under Hitler, just google Hitler and priest. The church took in a bunch of plunder during the war.

On a wing and a prayer. The US literally fly's by the seat of their pants.

Total Bullshit. They didn't even put "in God we Trust" on the money until the 50's

>I don't know what paganism is
>I don't know what God is
>I read "da bibel" even though I'm completely illiterate in mystical texts

Catholics aren't Christian

Chruches are the social network before Facebook since you see the same ppl each week

>American plebeian talking about history
You'll always be an uneducated nigger, nigger.

What's that Pablo?
I couldn't hear you over the nigger foot in your popes mouth

It was already religious Tyrone you dolt

I'm sorry if the pope is too christian for you.

I highly doubt this considering europe is now muslim

Cuckoldry isn't Christian, but I see how a papist could confuse the two.

Euros are socialists.
Socialists aren't able to think critically. They do what they're told.
Plus, they have an even worse education system than we do.

Obama/Trump since they are two sides of the same left/right coin.

Mary cults are fertility goddess worship and saints in roman Catholicism have attributes attributed to them like they see minor dieties

You're a fucking retard.

And now I realize you're a Jew. You will be turned to ash, you fucking kike.

He did exactly what Jesus did, if this is being cuckold, being christians is being cuckold, and I'm sure your islamig friends would agree with you.

Triggered

Sorry nigger, but this ain't no place for the likes of you

>They didn't even put "in God we Trust" on the money until the 50's
This is actually true.
It was a response the the now-proven views of McCarthy about communist infiltration of government.
The user you responded to was completely correct, though.
God is specifically mentioned as vital to the Republic. That view, if you watch the news, is correct.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the
government of any other." - John Adams

>Obama/Trump since they are two sides of the same left/right coin.
>two opposites are the same thing!1!
If a foreign government had imposed this system of education on the United States, we would rightfully consider it an act of war.
- Glenn T. Seaborg, National Commission on Education, 1983

You will swing on the branches next to the rest of your kind, nigger

DOTR means purging genetic failures like you

Jesus never kissed the feet of invading niggers, and you are a blasphemer if you say otherwise.

Hahaha, this protestant brainwashing is hilarious. Worshipping money is idolatry, worshipping your nation is idolatry, not good people.
Even the angels cultuaded mary, she is the mother of God, you dumbass, and saints are people completely driven by the holy spirit.

>DOTR
>not DotR
go back to shill school
