I think that the liberal attitudes many European countries hold, and their dislike of us leads to them using the fact that we are more religious as an "attack point". That doesn't mean just Europeans, but Americans who have the same mindset. People are attackng religion here because it is important and that is driven by people who do not like the U.S..some of which are in Europe.
You really should try to find a new word to describe the people whose views you don't like, seeing as how the U.S. is the only place where liberal doesn't mean "open minded." This forum is pretty international, and you're not presenting yourself in a positive light when you claim that the effects of open mindedness is something to be concerned about.

But anyway, where do you get the idea that Europe is somehow consciously undermining the religious traditions in your country? Sure, we wonder what's going on your side when we hear about stories like this one, but going from snickering at the insecurity of some belivers in the U.S. to attacking religion itself is a pretty big step.

And how many U.S. presidents have been doing the "devout christian"-spiel for the last 3 decades? All of them?
