Well, the Scopes trial itself was in Tennessee. I don't believe in this sinister political plot to enslave our minds that Adrian is hinting at, so I couldn't begin to guess where it's headquarters might be.

I can tell you that today, the majority of fundamentalist doctrine comes from the Southeast US. I can also tell you, that even here, it is a distinct minority of practicing Christians, let alone the general populaiton that buys into the hard line fundamentalism (creationism etc.)

It does exist. I won't deny that. My sister-in-law yanked her kids out of the local Baptist school (the biggest culprits) because they were teaching that the sun wasn't a star (according to Genesis the stars were created one day, the sun on a different one, so the sun cannot be a star) and other scientifically challenged theories.

But the percentage of the population, even here in one of the more fundamentalist areas of the country is relatively small. Looking at America reflexively through European eyes, I would expect that every American that admits to a belief in God is an ardent dyed-in-the-wool hellfire & brimstone bible thumper. That simply isn't so. Most of us are concerned with getting our own act straightened out and helping out our fellow man.

Look, Navaros and those like him believe what they believe. But even he will tell you that most Christians don't agree with him. I believe he would tell you that I and others like me are Christians in name only. That's fine, I'm used to such scare tactics.

Honestly, I think more people believe in ghosts and haunted houses (which are impossible, according to Christian doctrine) or astrology then do the 6 day creation story as scientific fact.
