LordCrash If you mean the term "theocracy" I apply that to Amercian society and not only the government.
Since I have lived in america my whole life then I think I can talk about it's history and society today and not keep pointing out all of the great thinks germany's society has done.
America has a long history since the beginning with Europeans that were persecuted for the religion getting on a boat coming over here. Because of that we still have lingering religion everywhere. More in the countryside than in the city's I'm an atheist and hate it. If you would like to come over here and tell all these religious people they are wrong and to stop believing it, that would be great. I have been trying my whole life.
The problem is even if you don't believe it, America is still pretty free. So all the religious people get just as much say as everybody else. They are organized and loud even if they are not a majority. So if you are a credit card company and 40% of people scream at you to stop something. Then you do it rather you want to or not. The other 60% don't scream for porn rights.
I hate religion but blaming america for all the problems sounds a little jealous. Why doesn't Germany or France or some other country make the biggest credit card companies in the world. Then us Americans can blame you guys for something we don't like for a change. I'm sure your society is perfect and has it all figured out.
