As an American living in an Asian country, I can say that one of the things I like best here is that religion does not determine politics or laws. Common sense does. There is no lack of a moral compass here. For instance, murder is against the law because the society says it is, not the bible. Sure there are problems here, but they are not a result of, nor would they be cured by, the presence of a strong Christian faith.
