Publications FeedJesus Q. Politician: Explaining the politicization of religion in the United States, Australia, and Canada
20 October 2009
The religious sociologist Peter Berger once said that if India is the most religious country and Sweden the least, then the United States is a nation of Indians ruled by Swedes. This metaphor is inaccurate, at least with regard to Australia, Canada, and the United States in the latter half of the 20th century. The United States actually comes closer to being a nation of Indians ruled by Indians, while Australia a nation of Swedes ruled by Indians, and Canada a nation of “Swindians” ruled by Swedes.
