      It’s gonna be a wild chapter of future psych courses on how to turn “Christian” morals into demonic hateful loathing of everything. The US has gone feral.

        Native here - this nation has always had that variety of Christianity. The puritanical types literally came here because the English wouldn’t let them be bigoted and extreme enough in their religiosity. For many initial immigrants to the US, freedom of religion was the freedom to hate and harm others, just as it is today. Hope this helps.

          This. USA and Canada have whitewashed their image quite a lot. Most other European nations have sins from colonial era that have been washed out yet.

          Most of the first colonizers in americas didn’t come by the goodness in their heart or for the upliftment. They were vultures or running away from “oppression” or criminals.
