Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

I think the Christianity thing is changing very slowly, but yeah, overall this is still a far more religious and Christian country than most other 1st world countries. What's weird is that the majority of people who identify as Christian don't actively practice. They don't attend church regularly (as opposed to showing up on holidays), they've likely never read much of the Bible, they're probably shaky on the exact stances of whatever denomination they're closest so. But they believe in God and are nominally Christian and this is due in big part to the fact that even non-practicing Christians regard being Christian as a good trait to have. They believe that it's a sign you're a good person.

So the "I'll pray for you" is to many people a super good way of saying, "I'm sorry for what happened to you/what you're going through" and the anon who said it's the easiest way of signaling that you're a good person but not actually doing anything isn't wrong.
