I just had a discussion about the US being a "secular" country. I said it was, but the whole Turkish class disagreed with me. They were saying like "Then why do they still swear on the Bible in the courtrooms?" or "then why is Bush using Christianity so much?" etc. What do you guys think about the secularism in the US

We all think Bush is an idiot.

I think that it's kind of hard to say whether or not America is secular. There are so many different people here with so many different ideas... i think we're both, depending on where you look.

yes yes i agree with perry

theres a whole "bible belt" across the US, a general area where christianty counts for more than the rest of us would like

it's supposed to be, but esp. with bush it's veering towards christianity more than usual.
