1. Presently, 47% of Americans declare adherence to a fanatical philosophical doctrine that has no experimental confirmation in history or science. 2. The certainty with which this doctrine is held to be true cannot be disputed or disproved by any reasoning or debating technique known to man. 3. The United States is the only country on Earth that holds any sizable, or even countable (in many cases), population of people that believe this same philosophical doctrine. 4. This is not a trivial observation.
Although the percentage of adherents is disputable and may be as low as 22% of the population of the USA, the fact remains that this philosophical mindset is unprecedented both in the 1. historical immediacy of less than two hundred years and 2. essential geographical isolation of followers on the continent of North America.
