 And another perspective.....
Christianity seems a big deal in the US at the moment. A lot of Americans seem to be very keen on it, but there are some that are very anti it. Here in the UK we don't care very much either way. This is a bit of a turn around. When the US was founded it was probably the most anti-clerical place in the world and its constitution reflects that antipathy. Back then the English took religion very seriously.
Empathy has always been in short supply, but I have never noticed any difference in empathy levels either side of the Atlantic. Perhaps Christianity just isn't a factor here?
