> Trying to argue that either the EU or the US is more "backwards" than the other is an idiotic conversation to have.
It's really not an idiotic conversation considering that the US has a very clear problem with religious nuts accumulating increasingly more power to dictate other people's lives, that's very backwards and should be brought up. I don't want other countries being molded by that. The USA already exported the bullshit televangelicals stupidity into my home country (Brazil) which made Neo-Pentecostalism the biggest religion there with all the problems it entails, it's extremely backwards and stems from America's cultural values around money.
