    History Western Civilization, Rome and Cyclical History

    Given that many Evangelical Churches in the US are more orthodox than the Anglicans are at this point, you really need to get off your high (Church) horse. Just because the forms are different, most major Evangelical Churches in the US have been holding out against the forces of secularism...

    I mean... these are why many Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox are all considered "Christian". There's actually a baseline set of beliefs that define it from the early ecumenical councils. Generally speaking belief in and adhering to the Nicaean and Apostles Creeds is the baseline...

    One thing I think the Macro-historical analysis you're pushing is lacking in is accounting for geography, which has massive influences on civilizations and the people living there. We know people adapt over time to the geography they find themselves in, and likewise geography influences...

    This viewpoint betrays as fundamental misunderstanding of the internal Republican dynamics and frankly speaks ill of Macro-historians being able to see the bigger picture. Either that or a fundamental misunderstanding of the core conflict within American politics. This may be because...

Again, due to geography (the north Saharan deserts and the sparsely populated north African coast, they...

    There's another aspect of those three countries you're missing: they all have a pro-Western government which brings them access to the economic wealth of the west. Morocco is a long standing* ally of the US and has consistently sided with the US in most geopolitical matters. Jordon likewise...

    I'd argue that Anglo culture is also separate and unique from those three. It's obviously a mix of native Celtic combined with Romantic and Germanic parts, but the admixture resulted in something wholly different that then went and seeded it's own civilization scattered around the globe...
