Score 1 for null hypothesis
Opinion voiced at panel discussion on global fundamentalisms: Europe isn’t seeing a rise in religious fundamentalism in part because Europe doesn’t feel as threatened by globalization. One piece of support for my null hypothesis.
One of the things I have the most difficulty understanding and sympathising with in the US is the excessive religiosity and especially the fundamentalism. The longer I’ve been here as an adult, the more it bothers me. Seems to be a general pattern for people. The mroe of it you see, the less you can stand it. At some point, you being public and vocal about your religion starts, in essence, pushing your religion on me, and I don’t appreciate that. Especially, I dislike the idea that I ought to be behaving according to religious morals from a religion I don’t believe in. It also sets up the scene for clashes and conflicts. That alone ought to be a good reason to keep your religion private. What you do in private is no one’s business, assuming you’re not breaking any laws. What you do in public, however, is subject to cultural and societal opinions, ethics, and restrictions. And, as far as I know, no religion considers it holy to self-aggrandize your piety. If you are pious, you can be perfectly pious without anyone knowing about it. If you don’t feel satisfied unless you can show off how righteous and pious you are, then that has nothing to do with religion.
I still have trouble understaning why abortion and evolution are so controversial, especially evolution. None of the arguments I’ve heard explain to me why these issues, why now. The two seem rather randomly picked to me, really. The principles invoked to explain why these two issues are so crucial apply to all kinds of things where there is no similar outrage, and I can’t figure out what has led to these two things being singled out for outrage.
I guess I’ve been gone long enough from Europe to start properly sorting out as an adult what is European. I saw many of the problems and the differences between the countries very clearly, but now I’m starting to see what is truly unique about Europe as a whole. Relative lack of insecurity about globalization is a pretty good trait to have.
