Well I have six thousand years' worth of history for you and you are not going to like it.
Yeah, for sure but religion plays a stupid amount of a role in the US compared to other normal western countries. Just look at the Christian Heritage Party of Canada with their grand total of zero seats. Hell, the Conservative Party of Canada doesn't even dip into religion very often and they're also unpopular.
Your country's broken, mate
Calling one of the two major parties in Canada, which almost won the last election if not for its leader fucking up to an insane degree, "unpopular" is certainly a take. Also the current senior part of Germany's ruling coalition is the Christian Democratic Party so... yeah. More broadly, though, you have to realize that Protestantism in US rightwing politics is just a stand-in for white nationalism, while in more anti-clerical Western countries nationalism is the dominant religion with traditional religion mostly a distant second. The GOP isn't a cult because it's religious (they still have a hefty atheist and otherwise non-Protestant support base); it's a cult because rightwing politics are inherently culty, far-right politics even more so. It's not like cannibalizing fellow workers while the owner class bleeds you dry becomes more rational when you're doing it for the German nation instead of Jesus.
I live in Italy and I can safely blame the Roman Catholic church for the cultural backwardness in which my country finds itself. The interference of the church has this as its main purpose, after all only by remaining ignorant one can continue to believe certain nonsense.
'Should' != 'Has'
What?
Should is not the same word as has.
should imperative Used as an auxiliary verb, to express a conditional or contingent act or state, or as a supposition of an actual fact; also, to express moral obligation (see shall); e. g.: they should have come last week; if I should go; I should think you could go.
has verb Third-person singular simple present indicative form of have.
Your comment doesn't actually address what the inital comment said at all.
It does. My point is that what they want is a pipe dream.
That point isn't conveyed through what you said
