Why not look at relatively more secular western Europe versus the relatively more religious US and see which population is more accepting of government regulations. That is to say that either you have it precisely backwards or there is no observable correlation.

That does not actually follow.

Why not?

There are three possibilities: Mass_Driver has the causal flow right, Mass_Driver has the causal flow wrong, there is no causal flow. Pointing out the existence of the last two options doesn't mean the only two options are those options. It is still entirely possible after your comment that Mass_Driver has it the right way around. Therefore, it doesn't follow.
