More Evidence of the unChristian America
A recent BBC survey ranks the US number 2 in the world in terms of overall sinfulness. Each country studied was ranked in each of the 7 sins, and then given an overall rank. America takes the cake (no pun intended) in the category of gluttony. Australia is ranked at number 1 in terms of overall sinfulness. Regardless of the soundness of their methodology, it is an interesting concept, and the relatively high placement of the US should come as no surprise, given my recent analysis of the issue. Of course, one must remember the anti-American stance of much of the BBC, but still—food for thought (again, no pun intended).
American theocrats and holier-than-thou moralists would be wise to take a second look at that old assumption that the US is a “Christian country.” Maybe a little—dare I say—humbleness on their part is called for?
