🔗 ’We don’t do God’ and massive ad spends: How British election races differ from American ones // Holly Ellyatt // cnbc.com

You will never hear a British politician — at least not a mainstream one — mentioning God in a political speech or campaign. Ever.

These are really notable differences. Maybe it’s just “the grass is always greener” situation, but this sure does sound like a saner way to do elections.

@jarrod Hence the Puritans came to this side of the pond. It’s a wonder that US manages to keep church and state as separate as it does. But it’s a continual struggle. Americans are more religious in the evangelical sense than any other country

@pratik I hadn’t connected the dots back to the very beginning. Astute observation!
