Honestly, i dont really know too many Europeans, so i couldn’t make a blanket statement about them.
i’ll leave the baseless speculation to traveleh.
But, really, American Christians certainly fall into a special category of fear-based, delusional, dunce-cap kind of literal interpretation of the bible more than most, somewhat secular-leaning religious folks from other places in the Global West. Remember, America gave birth to the Mormons, and countless cult-sects like the branch Davidians, Jonestown, the Farm, etc.
