[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 77017722, member: 313365"] I don't think we're in significant disagreement on this although I tend to see a peculiarly American brand of Christianity (an American artefact) in play here. The 'American' distinction comes from a peculiarly US mix of evangelicalism, fundamentalism/literalism and a heavy involvement in (right wing) politics. Combined with views of American exceptionalism held by some Americans and the American focus on individual rights it produces what I see as a fairly unique form of Christianity. I'm sure that other non-American Christian cultural groups include some of these characteristics but there appears to be a peculiarly American combination. OB [/QUOTE]
