anglophone comments on May 29, 2022:

I think it is perhaps more complex than just religion. My half-baked guess is that a country's leaders have an influence on society. Where leaders embrace pluralism the "fear of the other" becomes less pronounced. Contrapositively, where leaders embrace exceptionalism "fear of the other" becomes more pronounced. William of Orange is example of the former while Adolph Hitler is an example of the latter. The roots of the modern USA can be traced back to people who went to there as free agents: they went there of their own volition. Australia's roots can be traced back to convicts who arrived against their will. I suspect that difference underlies part of the difference between the two countries. On a personal note, I sense that Australians look at what is happening in the USA astonishment verging on disbelief. While both governments are corrupt in their own different fashion, it seems to me that the screams made by the "pro-lifers" (who are in fact "pro-birthers") and the evangelical Christians astonish a significant number of Aussies, and the decline of what might be termed "the fundamentalist brigade" in Australia started perhaps 40 years ago.

It is called people believing that they can do whatever they want in the name of their particular sky fairy, and they will be forgiven by confessing their sins on Sunday or Saturday depending on their particular religion.
