"...HL Mencken, the great journalist of the first half of the century, certainly understood this when he attacked the way Americans refuse to discuss religion: "The result is that all religions are equally safeguarded against criticism, and that all of them lose vitality. We protect the status quo and so make steady war upon revision and improvement. That is a profoundly clever observation about the US, which is so often mistaken for the jittery crucible of invention. In areas other than commercial enterprise, it has been remarkably slow to challenge the status quo - segregation and gun law - mostly from fear of offending the Bill of Rights and Constitution."
