Separation of Church and Everything
When I first got here, I met a drunk Brit (what are the odds?) who commented on America being identified as a Christian country. He had a theory that America was still religious because God hadn't broken our hearts enough yet. Though funny, I thought he was onto something. America is relatively young, and it would make sense to establish some values and guidelines through religion. It's been almost 240 years and America is still pretty Christian in general. If someone is not Christian, then they normally observe something. Atheists/Non-believers/Agnostics aren't so common. I have yet to meet a Swede that openly states that they are Christian. I do know one Muslim guy (originally from Ghana) that prays regularly. But other than that… nothing. I haven't seen one person here (except my mother when she came for the wedding) so much as pray over their food. And she doesn't count! Growing up, everybody prayed over their food...
