Is it just me, or do Europeans simply follow anyone who calls themselves their leader? This seems purely a European thing, and once in a while another group will do it.
Hardly. Three words for you: George Walker Bush.

Everyone in America is either European or Some other country. We are Americans in our resolve to unite under justice and the Constitution etc. 3 generations ago my relatives were Italians. I'm American now though. Funny how all those scientists never returned to their nation of birth.
Onto other things, those TV evangelicals are perfectly fine and executing in freedom of speech. So to are so many others. Europeans on the other hand have actually had EVIL leaders. Last time I remembered, just about the only evil leader in the US was Hoover maybe, or perhaps Nixon, but he actually ended the Vietnam war. We reject or kill or evil leaders. Scientology is dieing, I've never even heard of johnstown and heavens gate, thus that shows ho much they are remembered, and Mormons are very nice people. Did you know that if you're lost in Utah, they will welcome you into their home for the night? Sure they've got their defects, but they're every nice people. I can't believe I've been reduced to quote from South Park, but :
" You know what... I love my family and they love me... so f**k you."
You generalize too much. You've fallen into the news' trap. you've been conditioned to automatically think Mormons are bad.
I may have pride in my nation, along with many others, but we do something different then others, we reject that pride in times like now. I am by all means NOT proud to be an American with the ass leading us now. Hitler, on the other hand, had no problem in getting people to follow him brainlessly. Also Nero, the Kaiser, Benito, Louis XVI, the Roman senate, Who ever was king of Turkey during their massacres, etc. America has never actually had an evil leader (maybe Bush is an exception) and likewise, we've often killed the fools who tried to be an evil leader.

I understand what you mean, but atheists follow a set of morals and ethics, religious people do the same. Atheists, or religious people are both one and the same. For example, a religious person can get the flu, and so can an atheist.
What I'm getting at is, a person who believes in a higher power can be manipulated, and so can a person who has lack in belief. We feel the same emotions, and we all feel the same way. Corruption can manipulate anyone, and I will say this, it effected everyone in the past and so we must learn to benefit our future.

You mis understood my original meaning. Not to be offensive, but I wanted to make the point that Americans are better educated. Something that has been like this since Indian days.
And I've been trying to make that point since square one, Equinox99, thanks for putting it in layman's terms. I often go into loooong pointless words.

Yep agree, especially the geography part. Some of the things they say is so stupid.

What if all the major religions started out with the same story and it slowly diverged from there
