Mystery:Why is England More Liberal than the United States?

Reasons for why England is substantially more liberal than the United States include:

• lack of federalism and decentralized government controls in England, thereby enabling a handful of liberals to exercise more influence over centralized power
• England lacks socially conservative intellectuals, perhaps due to its atheistic-controlled university system
• workers unions are far more powerful in England than in the United States
• gun control dominates England, in contrast with the United States
• people in England actually believe in the theory of evolution, unlike most of the United States
