A. why do you assume that such ideals came from religion? The bible supports slavery, not freedom, subservience not independence, obedience not democracy and offers very mixed views about riches and prosperity. These ideas come from 18th Century philosophers and the enlightenment, not religion. In particular the work of Adam Smith (The Theory of Moral Sentiment, 1759 and the Weath of Nations, March 1776) seems to have influenced the American economy. Smith and many of the "founding fathers" seem to have been deists not christians.

A. Id say thats a very US perspective. US manufacturers emphasize engine displacement (rather than technology that gets more hp and economy out of a smaller engine -the Dodge Charger Hemi is a perfect example - massive engine - pathetic power output), and frivolous extras like a million cupholders. I would say they are WAAAYYY behind in body design and performance. Four wheel drive, power steering, advanced suspension etc etc all come from europe or japan as they need to be innovate to stay ahead of the competitors. The US has effectively had a captive market for a long time through misguided patriotism (I laugh every time I see a bumper sticker urging to buy GM as its American - only 2 vehicles are entirely built (all components and… [cont.]
