That's an interesting quote, vanman, and I think it's an appropriate statement to define America. Mainly because it assumes that everyone believes in one god of some sort, and should be thankful to him for their creation. I'm really not looking to start any kind of confrontational thread, here, and I know what you were trying to do, vanman and it's commendable. I know you were probably not trying to offend anyone, but this statement kind of bugs me, and is in many ways a typical attitude here in the States. It completely ignores the existance of athiesm, agnosticism, polytheism, animism, paganism, shamanism, and even deism -- all of which occur to some extent right here in the great USA. All of which are usually neglected to appease the good old monotheistic majority. Not that this is very earth-shattering, after all, the US Congress in no way fairly represents the religious makeup of the United States. The only reason I bring this up is that the title of your post was "Cultural Diversity". Recognizing that different cultures exist in the US without recognizing the belief structures of those cultures is...well...silly.
