People keep reporting that America is secular, and there is more religious pluralism than before.
In Europe, many people hate the church because they hate the government, which runs the church. Religion in America may be getting more diverse, but evangelical Protestantism is still the dominant force, along with the enormous growth of the Catholic Church in this country, which I attribute to a slightly higher birth rate and to immigration. Pentecostals and charismatics, which used to be considered on the fringe, are now considered mainline. As the Muslim community continues to grow, their vote is going to offset the Jewish community s vote and that is going to start effecting foreign policy. I think that is going to happen.
