Is it a problem for Americans that America has no established religion?

Does PVK think the Third Commandment means "no idolatry"? But that is the First Commandment!

If I were a Christian Nationalist, I would have to decide which denomination to choose to promote my Christian Nationalism.

Why did  @FrStephenDeYoung  convert from Protestantism to Orthodox Christianity?

 @ToviaSinger1  has a theory: antisemitism. If you hate Jews, you hate Israel. If you hate Israel, you would prefer Catholicism to Anglicanism because the Anglican Church and America immediately recognised Israel in 1948. It took the Catholic Church till 1993 to recognise Israel. The Orthodox Church has never recognised Israel. 


The most innocent reason for Americans converting from the Protestantism of their ancestors is that they want a Christianity considerably older than the 250 years their republic has been in existence. 

A more nefarious reason - if you consider White Nationalism to be nefarious - is that Orthodox Christianity is more antisemitic and non-American and the Christianity of Putin and Dugin for self-hating Americans who hate what American Christianity and liberalism has done to their country and demographics. 

White Nationalists do not seem to know that Russia is the largest European country with the highest percentage of Muslim citizens. 

The European country with the highest percentage of Muslim citizens is Azerbaijan, where the population is 95–100% Muslim. 

If considering only European Union member states, Cyprus has the highest percentage at approximately 25.4%, driven largely by the Turkish Cypriot population in the north. 

Among the countries typically discussed in Western European demographic contexts, Bosnia and Herzegovina has the highest share at roughly 50.7–51%, making it the only European country where Muslims form an outright majority. 

Key Rankings by Percentage

Azerbaijan: 95–100%
Turkey (European part): 90–95%
Kosovo: ~90%
Albania: 55–60%
Bosnia and Herzegovina: ~51%
Cyprus (EU only): 25.4%
France: ~8–9%
Germany: ~6–6.6%

Estimates for the percentage of Muslims in Russia vary significantly depending on the source, ranging from 7% to 17% of the total population. 

Official State Data: The Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) reported that 7% of Russians identified as Muslims in 2025. 

Academic & Independent Estimates: Surveys such as the 2012 Arena Atlas placed the figure at 6.5%, while other estimates range from 10% to 15%, with some sources suggesting up to 17% (approximately 20–25 million people).

Context: The Muslim community is the second-largest religious group in Russia, primarily consisting of indigenous ethnic groups like Tatars, Bashkirs, and Chechens, as well as migrants from Central Asia. 

United States Muslims make up approximately 1% to 1.3% of the total U.S. population. Estimates for the total number of Muslims range between 3.5 million and 4.5 million, depending on the methodology used by different research organizations. The community is notably young, with about 26% of Muslims between the ages of 18 and 24, and is the most ethnically diverse religious group in the country.

United Kingdom Muslims constitute approximately 6.5% to 7% of the UK population. Recent census data and estimates place the number of Muslims in the UK at around 4 to 4.5 million.

The population is concentrated in major urban centers like London, Birmingham, and Manchester. Projections suggest this percentage could rise significantly in the coming decades, potentially reaching over 10% by 2050.
