Certainly it's more theocratic than Canada is; but it's nowhere close to being an Iran. Still--there are segments of the US that are just so backwards, like Ohio adding creationism to the curriculum. The current administration has also actively interfered with scientific studies where the conclusions seemed to be at odds with policy. That's troubling. (In particular in the realm of the environment they've been doing that--practically requiring scientists to rewrite their conclusions to make it sound like there's a controversy in order to get continued funding grants.)
I spend a year teaching at a liberal arts college in Kentucky. I had an international student from Jordon who said that he had "thought Jordon was religious until he came to Kentucky�. The U.S. may not be Iran yet, but I can’t think of another western country were religion plays such a big role. When you are not used to it, the U.S. south (and many do not even consider KY to be a southern state) is a real shock. I also spent a bit of time in Odessa, Texas and found it to be even worse.gala said:

Hey all I know is what I see in the "movies", just like most "good" north Americans.
The US constitution provides a clear seperation of church and state. This however does not forbid anyone from proclaiming his faith or used it as a campaign issue. This law also allows for anybody to vote for whomever he/she thinks.
IMHO in my humble opinion goverment should not provide any funding for any organization that promotes as a core value.
Having said that I have real trouble denying funding to religous groups that do valueble charity work.
It would be real ironic, that a country that was partially founded as an escape from religous prosecution, would turn theocratic.
I don't believe this would happen. There is a need however to address certain issues. Like "One nation under God".
