Even if that bizarre belief is true not every single religion in the United States is a super conservative insane literalist evolution denying religion.
Religion and truth are fundamentally incompatible.

Something seems odd about this to me. There's a market for gay horror movies, for Christ's sake. Were they demanding too much money?

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the producer didn't even offer the film for distribution in the US for the specific purpose of being able to stir up controvery over the lack of a US distributor, as Peter Wiggin suggests.

On the contrary, every religion I know of deals extensively with defining the truth.

No Australians in the US!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The truth that can be defined is not the definitive truth, as Lao Tze could have said.

QuoteBut in the US, outside of New York and LA, religion rules.

Even if that bizarre belief is true not every single religion in the United States is a super conservative insane literalist evolution denying religion.

I find it rather sad an article that is supposed to be in favor of rational discourse over evolution would find it necessary to lie and misrepresent not only the status of religion in America but the religions themselves.  How bizarre.

The article states that only 38% of Americans think the theory of evolution is correct. Do you dispute this number? Because if it is true, it is pretty much crazy and extraordinary, your claims about benevolent and sane denominations notwithstanding.
