I would want the British reader to feel that religion in America isn't an absurd thing - a sign of a pin head athwart a gigantic body.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is no longer acceptable in British politics to be fat or eccentric or religious.
There's no question that there is more anti-religion noise in Britain.
I think the British audience might be more open-minded with some of my imagery and weird choices.
Politicians don't really bring up religion in England.
The British, I have discovered, assume that Americans are more religious than they are.
Being religious is quintessentially American.
I certainly would absolutely never do what some of my American colleagues do and object to religious symbols being used, putting crosses up in the public square and things like that. I don't fret about that at all; I'm quite happy about that.
Americans should be free to recognize our religious heritage; doing that is not the same as creating a government-sponsored religion.
America is an unusually religious nation.
Growing up in Britain as a rather loose Jew, the two things that didn't belong together were freedom and religious intensity. In America, they do. The Founding Fathers made a bet that if you didn't force everyone to profess religion in their own particular way, you could protect intellectual freedom, and religion would flourish.
