Just curious how you square the part about "if not more free" to say you hate God in the U.S. with the fact that atheists are actively discriminated against there? I'd say there's a pretty big difference between "noone really caring" and harassment and in some cases even violence being visited upon you.

What Darkslash meant about mentioning Islam in Europe is that it seems as though countries in Europe..who are more liberal and less religious, tend to actually give into demands of religious extremists simply because they want to appease or be "politically correct".
Yes, and we all know that how things seem aren't necessarily the same thing as the way they really are.
