That was why I put "(as well as other countries)" on the comment; but I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been.

I specifically mentioned America because that's what I had the statistics around belief in evolution for. Also, I feel more qualified to comment on the "stupidity, ignorance and/or anti-intellectualism" of American's because I see/hear it every day.

Also, two-thirds of native English speakers are in the US.


Nativity does not matter. Did you think I was a native speaker? I am not.
