11. Because kids in American schools have always been taught the
creation myths about America. And American adults have kept ahold of those stories about America being a special place. And those who do not get the chance to move abroad or travel.. those who do not get their information from sources outside.. they believe the hype. They don't get a chance to question it. And they share that myth with those around them. And such shared myths are the same thing as religion.

(a myth can be true or not true - does not matter in this case)
