From my perspective, the USA seems to be filled with people who believe all sorts of bizarre things. I saw the results of a poll that showed that more than 50% believe in the Devil, and almost as many believe in God. These are astounding numbers for an affluent country. There are multitudes who believe in alien visitations and abductions, in a big government cover-up at Roswell, in crop circles, ghosts, angels, reincarnation ... (although there is plenty of skepticism about science, in particular the on the subject of evolution). Once I would have expected the SI community to be more rational, but by now I realize that a significant fraction of the people here are very credulous too. So much for fond illusions.
