What countries have more religious freedom and rights for women and minorities than the USA?

Posted on February 20th, 2010 by admin


The people who answered "none" to this question can’t be bothered to look. They just take it for granted that the USA is the best in every category, which is a form of intentional ignorance that should make other Americans very angry.

For women, the USA is 27th. Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, New Zealand, Philippines, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Latvia, Germany, and a bunch of other countries are doing better than we do.

For religious freedom, the USA does pretty well. Hungary, Estonia, and Ireland are the only countries with as much religious freedom as the USA.

I don’t think it’s possible to make a ranking of minority rights, just because that term means so many things to so many people. The USA has many, many more minorities than most other countries, which results in both bad and good indicators. If anyone knows of a ranking for this statistic, I’d be curious to see it.

    Depends on who you ask: NONE, if answered by a Conservative; Venezuela or Cuba if answered by a Liberal.
