Very Much appreciated your comment on one Haggard vid. Meant to add a reply but accidentally hit "spam"... bad arrangement on you-tube's part, sorry.

Basically why Americans are so obsessed with religion is the main founding group, who sailed to America on the Mayflower, where Puritans. An extremist sect who for a time had control of England, but they where eventually pushed back by moderates.

When that happened, they lost their power and ability to go around telling people how they should live, and hence felt they were under threat themselves, they decided to leave England. Some went to the Netherlands, and others went to America and set up the first colonies.

Does that help?

Again sorry about the mistake... need to be more careful with where my cursor lands...
