[Siegmund]

I am somewhere between "good" and "it doesn't matter."

I believe blind allegiance to anything is stupid. In particular, allegiance to a country for no reason other than the fact you happen to be born there is stupid. If your allegiance to your religion is for no other reason than because it's where your parents took you on Sunday as a kid, then it's a tie. If you consciously chose your religious beliefs after due consideration, and coincidentally happened to be born in the US, it's good.

(This means there's a very small minority of people - people who immigrated and became US citizens, but who still blindly follow the religion of their youth - for whom this is bad. And there will be some number of people who have given serious thought to what the best form of government is, free of preconceived notions that the only one they have lived under is right.) But "good" is the category that is liable to have 40-some percent of the US population in it.
