I like to think that the 'exceptionalism' may be applied to the Western Europe. They're the only one that become secular and leaves all cultural heritage behind them... Perhaps because they're the earliest one that experienced modernity. Others, such as America, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and so on, can embrace modernity while at the same time maintain their religiosity.
Europe is creating its own reduction of significance, one of enormous size, by its blindness. Eurosocialism will decline in the face of revived American-style constitutionalism.
