Every country is a religion-based country. It's just that we have the wrong religion, or more accurately, several wrong religions in the process of consolidating into a Grand Wrong Religion.

I don't believe in religion, therefore all religions are wrong.

Why wait for what will never happen? Go dance in the streets of Denmark or Sweden, just don't try hiphop dancing, those monocultural whitebread countries do not look kindly to those who do not assimilate.

Actually I had a friend live in Denmark for a year and was quite surprised with how nice everyone was to her being an American nor required her to assimilate to anything. Of course she also didn't bring the beer chugging Nascar Republican mentality with her either, so that probably helped.

Let's try "I don't believe in science, therefore all science is wrong." Makes as much sense.

You obviously don't believe in reason either.

Actually science can be tested and proven, religion can not. And yes, I do believe in reason, which is why I believe in science. Heck now that you mention science, I think that should be the official religion of our country because that I believe.

Because here family lives in the Northwest and at the end of the day she would much rather live closer to family.

What's the basis of your understanding of modern Scandinavia - The Vikings with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis?
