I'm increasingly skeptical that any of these European countries ever really understood the concepts of democracy or human rights.

All of the Europeans that did left for America while the gettin' was good. The few that didn't were beheaded during the French Revolution.

From whence the angst and fear of a Theocracy? If America had wanted a Theocracy they missed the best chance at it in 1778 or thereabouts. We had roughly 200 years to establish a Theocracy in this “Christian” nation and it didn’t happen. What in the world brings liberals to such fears of something that will never happen because of Christians?
