One of the things i sometimes forget is that America was originally settled by the outcast religious weirdos from the rest of the world. That is somewhat calming when seeing all the religious stupidity around me because its nothing new.
The evangelicals, mormons and southern baptists seem to be the most problematic.
They might be the source, but a lot of Catholics have started imitating them. They are almost leading the pack now with Opus Dei. The new age "law of attraction" bullshit is also just a repackaging of the "prosperity gospel" that so many evangelical charlatans use to fleece their flocks.
