Anti-China writers are not Anglo-Saxons

My advice: Education is the tool that will set you free.

Seize it.

Faith in whatever religious philosophy is for the individual level, and i suppose the truth that the faith practitioner has helps their performance in life, a defense against depression, pain, negative challenges, thus can be a support system. I do agree with you that the moment that faith is used to harm others, it has already transitioned itself from a personal faith level to one that is politically motivated. In the end, faith practice or spiritual life exercises should be kept personal , in the home or at certain faith houses.

It should not be used to proselytize as that tends to cause indifference.

Faith, or ideology is not just for the individual levels. Faith is the origin of the civilization. People in the same faith form a civilization. Without the faith, all empires would be tore apart by the ethnic conflicts very quickly. Only faith can create civilization empires comprised of many ethinic groups. For examples, Roman empires are based on Christianity. Chinese empires were based on Confucian while Islam Empires were based on Kuran. Chinese emperors paid tribute to Confucian while US presidents swore by the bible. When Gorbachev threw away Communism, Soviet collapsed within years.

Revolution changed or reformed the dominated Faith or ideology of a country or Civilizations. Mao was so great for Chinese not just for the unification of China, but Mao thought for a unified China besides Confucian to adapt to industrial era. Islam civilization is in the trouble because no one in islam civilization realize a reform or a change which allows islam civilization to adapt to industrial era. You will not see the chaos in Islam until a new faith, or a reformed faith emerges to lead muslims into industrial era.

I paraphrased the great Master Kong Zi [Confucius].

That's why Japanese Empire falled apart very quickly. You cannot conquer people just by military. You need to conquer people by faith. Western colonizers always had the bible besides guns and warships.

The expansion of ancient China was also associated with expansion of confucian.

When we talk Anglo-Saxons now, mostly it refers to Anglo-Saxons

What the hell are you talking about??

Anglo-Saxon does not exist anymore, they were assimilated with the Norman and now only existed as "Heritage" where the group of people speaking the Germanic language, however, that Germanic Language (Modern English) is different than the Original Anglo-Saxons language (Medieval English) they speak with Anglo-Saxons people. Because modern English is mixed with Nomadic French....

Nobody in this century is of pure Anglo-Saxon anymore, where the closest one can get is Welshman, where they keep their language closest to the medieval English. Nobody in this world today would identify themselves as Anglo-Saxons....

Anglo-Saxons re-establishment of Christianity is similar to Qing's establishment a Confucian dynasty. Machu's execution of Confucian is better than most of Han Chinese dynasties. But they also lead the renaissance and industrial revolution. When we talk about Anglo-Saxons now, I think that we usually refer to whites of origin from England, Scotland, German, Ireland etc. United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britains are countries established by Anglo-Saxons now. Industrial revolution made Anglo-Saxon the most secular groups in the Western civilization. WASP is the foundation of American politics.

The high religious rate in United states compared to other Anglo-Saxon countries are due the high percentage of Latinos and Blacks population.

No, Anglo-Saxons is not referred to simply as people from England.

Anglo-Saxons refer to person with English Heritage whom was culturally influenced by White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Not everyone originated from England are Anglo-Saxons, England was also conquest by Roman. Norman and Viking, so, you were wrong to assume all white people with English Heritage were Anglo-Saxons, they were refer to be a specific part of people.
