I just had a thought that perhaps religion is so vibrant here is because of the melting pot aspect to our society. WE have so many cultures here in the US and they all bring something new to their religious experiences.

Those who are religious or who have any beliefs have so much to choose from.

One of the reasons the Europeans don't like the Muslims is because they are religious. Americans like the fact that they are religious. They just don't like the form it takes.

The Europeans have fallen away from religion and the church while the rest of the world is seemingly more religious. I don't know how to explain it.
