the USA was mainly PROTESTANT and below the Rio Grande, all the way to Patagonia was Catholic. How have the Nations fared???

sometimes well, sometimes not so well...a meaningless analogy. You are comparing the world and the growth of Christianity from the time of Christ until now with the church in the U.S. and Latin American countries???????

come to think of it...I believe that there are about 100,000,000 Catholics in the United States and who knows how many in Central and South America....not too bad I'd say.....and all of them are right!!

Then perhaps you could explain why so many Central and South American countries and countries like the Philippines are such third world hell holes, while Protestantism produced counties like the UK, the US and our representative form of government, and other prosperous Northern European countries that led the way in exploration and innovation.
