The U.S. Is Much More Violent Than Other Countries

[Demeter]

2. I can't call the USA religious--I'd call it partisan

Instead of religious ethics influencing politics, we have political propaganda and indoctrination influencing religion. There's a vicious circle between the two spheres; a positive feedback loop that escalates the conflict, rather than resolving it.

Whenever a movement ignores and belittles a portion of the general population, it is NOT religious or politic. It is bigotry and "pulling rank", rank that exists only in the aggressor's mind.

And this pulling rank has existed since Popes inhabited the Vatican. Any group so dependent on hierarchy is going to violate all of the teachings of Christ, Hillel, Mohamed, Buddha, etc....because none of these leaders believed in hierarchy.
