Informal, but in brazil we made a poll among our class mates and 10 in 40 students thought "women should be submissive tp their husbands" and "disagreed with homosexuality".

And its precisely the most religious people in the classroom... The new wave of for profit protestant churches in brazil and america is crazy.

Many of the patterns in the US are imitated elsewhere. Probably something to do with all of those "mission trips" churches take to "help the disadvantaged" (well, I assume that they actually help, but I'd be amazed if they weren't trying to spread their religious beliefs everywhere they go". Or, perhaps, they see the Billy Grahams and the Kenneth Copelands making a fuck ton of money, and they also want a fuck ton of money. Probably all of the above.

Or, perhaps, the US isn't the center of the world and other countries aren't "imitating patterns", this is just also happening there for mostly the same reasons.
