And how many of those are in the United States?

Your whinging about persecuted christians would have more substance if you didn't pretend that that you were persecuted in the United States where you in fact constitute a majority. Grow up.

I'm ok with the whole TV star thing, make your money, all that. But what you did on TV isn't factual, even if it seems like it should be. Ronald Reagan was a great example of that conflation of wishful thinking and delusion into positive memories. It's psychology (of the weak-of-mind, shallow, and poorly educated, mostly, but we all do it.)

They even rebrand that set of responsibilities as 'socialism' in order to profit from their bad behavior--mocking the traditional notions of community and patriotism even while they wrap themselves in the flag and claim to be the only 'true Americans.'
