text: And what else would you expect in a western society whose culture developed based on 2000 years of Christianity?
  
  Would you be shocked to learn that Middle East societies are steeped in a Muslim ethos and Islam is the assumed normal, or that East Asia is steeped in a Buddhist ethos, or India in a Hindu ethos, etc.? Of course their cultures reflect their history.
  
  And just what is wrong with that?
  
  But culture, while heavily influenced by religion, is not religion.
