Europeans certainly don't dislike Americans for Godlessness. The
extraordinary religiosity (whether over Gods or Presidents) in the
US is one of the reasons for European frowning over that country.

Americans would do well to consider its scientific and economic
successes as primarily stemming from:

	a) Lack of distruction in WWII
	b) large graph where the edges speak a common language and common
	   rules.
	c) A large tax base with substantial centralisation of tax
	   assets.
