I believe in "my country - right and wrong". My interpretation of that is "to be praised when right and to be excoriated when wrong" - and I do no small amount of excoriation, believe me! When I first read the article (link below) I thought "this is too good to be true"; everyone will think it's an exaggeration. So I read it through again and could find no innaccuracy in it, so maybe instead it's "too true to be good".

Nevertheless, please take the time to read the article through. My country doesn't often get good PR these days, so when someone has something good to say about it I feel like shouting it from the rooftops. All I can say is that, although it sounds like hype, the article is just "telling it as it is".

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
