The Western World doesn ' t hate religion , they just hate the fact that there are religious radicals that shove their religion in everyone else ' s face to no end . My Opinion The Western civilizations would like to preserve and observe all the religion ' s that thrive within it but overall the majority of its people would rather you practice it in private , be it at home or in a churchtemplemosque and not out in public where other people have to hear what you have to say . My Grandfather use to say that this country gave you the right to worship any God you wanted . and me the right to not have to listen to that bullshit . <| sep |> Are you in CA ? <| sep |> That ' s an interesting point , but I suspect the effect would be so subtle that you ' d need a ton of data to find statistical significance .
