American+Culture

American culture is very strange in that it is entirely borrowed from other people. In the words of Brad Paisley: "You know, everyone has something they're known for, but it usually washes up our shores."

=﻿Language= Though the United States has no official language, English is the most spoken language at 82% of all Americans. It is also the official language of 30 states.

=﻿Thanksgiving= One of America's oldest traditions is the holiday of Thanksgiving. Started by the Pilgrims in 1621, it is a holiday to give thanks for everything you have. It has been a national holiday since 1863. It is one of America's favorite holidays, because if you can say anything about Americans, it's that we looooove to eat.

= Christmas = Another classic American holiday is Christmas. Most Americans participate in a Holiday in December, whether it be Hannukah, Kwanza or Christmas, but Christmas is the most popular. = 4th of July = Even the Commiest of Commies can't refrain from gawking in awe at the patriotic fireworks of 4th of July. (Well, fireworks //did// come from China...)

=﻿Baseball=

Called 'the American pastime", baseball is a precious part of American culture. Often American families come together to watch their favorite teams play; but of course, SOME teams are better than OTHERS.



=﻿Football=

FOOTBALL. IT'S INTENSE.



=Religion= The most popular religion of the United States is Christianity, at 78.5%. 51.3% of Americans are Protestant, 23.9% are Roman Catholic, and 1.7% are Mormon. The second most popular religion, or lack thereof, is Athiesm at 12%.
