No we are behind the other western democracies because we are isolated and overly influenced by Christianity. The other western democracies have the benefit of cultural diffusion. Most people speak more than one language and religion plays a much smaller role in their politics. You may be fight about the other Western Democracies and their differences from us, but this is also the reason that socialism won't work for us because we are different than them.
