No, it is not. Few countries separate church from state as unequivocally in their constitution as the US of A. But this faux pas is not a case of "Only in America". We had a Prime Minister for 12 years who referred to Australia as "this Christian nation" on more than one occasion. I am sure similar claims have been made within and about other explicitly secular nations.
Judaeo christian is an oxymoron, the first premise of christianity is to do away with the Jewish customs that gave rise to messianic culture and replace them with new scripture, a bit like the mormons did with the bible.

Judaeo christian is an oxymoron...

In our current identity-politics infested quagmire 'Judaeo-Christian' mainly mean White. You'll note that Hannity's apparent outrage at 'the left' is purely anecdotal - which is to say that the #OUTRAGE from 'The Left' is something concocted by him purely to use as a stick to beat them with.

Shit, I'm glad that in Oz I'm not allowed a gun, because if my local bottle shop ran out of my favourite gin, who knows what the fuck I'd do...

They start early in the US: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-04/ ... r/11478010
A 14-year-old American boy has shot and killed five of his family members at their home in Alabama, including a six-month-old baby, before throwing away the pistol and calling police, officials say.

The shooting occurred on Monday night, local time, in the town of Elkmont, a spokesman for the Limestone County Sheriff's Office told media.

The spokesman said five people were shot, with three dying at the scene and two later in hospital.

Well, at least America's making progress on gender equality, so it's not all doom and gloom...

With all these incident involving school kids my first thought is always, "What's going on at home?"

There also the fact that it’s an option.. in countries like ours someone’s like her might go bonkers with a knife but getting hold of her little arsenal would be more or less impossible.
