Is it because of religion where you have to force yourself to believe a lot of nonsense, that Americans cannot

Question

think logically about politics, guns, going to war and a lot of other topics? Is this why Americans have become the dumbest on the planet on most subjects?

Answer 1

I do not think the blame can be placed at the foot of religion.

Americans are schooled in ultra patriotism very early in life, and seldom in most cases question the wrong decisions of their political bosses who seem to be able to do, and say anything, and be believed, at least in the short run by the citizenry.
