Why are the majority of Y/A's "Religion & Spirituality" community Americans?

Um,. this is the Y!A USA site. There are separate Y!A sites for other countries.
I'm Iranian.
I wish more "English-speaking" people on YA were non-American so that Americans could get educated about the world. They don't have the opportunity to think outside their American box, because neither on the internet nor in their biased media and nor in the real world do they have the opportunity to meet people from other parts of the globe and that explains why their attitudes seem uneducated to the rest of us sophisticated people.
Another reason is, not all people can speak English.

As noted, you are posting on the U.S. Y!A forum.
Approximately 76% of Americans identify as Christian.
I would like to point out to "Iranian" that I am an American, and an atheist, and that while I may not have lived in other countries, I have spent time in ten countries on three continents. I have an education, I am a critical thinker and an avid reader, and I do not limit my reading to U.S. publications. Your implication that as an American I am inferior intellectually to non-Americans is completely unfounded and, I should add, bigoted.

I'm going to hazard a wild guess and say it's probably because you're posting this on Yahoo's American site,
Gee, I wonder if Yahoo! India is full of Indians? Let's go post a question there and find out.
