The religious extremism in America is not coming from the christian right.

The churches in America have virtually NO clout with the government - both Democrats and Republicans are trying to USE the church to get votes. That's all.

And you are DEAD WRONG about the "christians" who left Europe and came to America. DEAD WRONG.
