I maybe should mention the repeated association that is made between the history of america and judeo christian values.
Buddhism, while possibly allowing multiple approaches, isn't really theistic. It's been a while since i was into it, but i remember having the impression that it lacked a central diety who controlled all.
Since it appears i was too convoluted in my original post let me rephrase: How can america, a democracy, be founded on christian values(as some have proclaimed) when christianity is structured in such a way(absolute truth, one righteous way, one right perspective) as to be everything that democracy is not. Christianity is fundamentally anti-democratic.
I'm focusing only on christianity because that is the amercian majority. Certainly, that same could be said for any number of other religions.
