As said, our history is long and tarred as well, we had to learn from our mistakes as well.
It was the Dutch ( and French) that made the USA possible, the Dutch saluting the first USA boat in Eustatius as official ship representing the USA with gun salutes, providing 7 million Dutch guilders as loan and delivering gunpowder, shot and weapons through Eustatius to the rebellious USA to fight the English.
Some wiki:
The U.S. partnership with the Netherlands is one of its oldest continuous relationships and dates back to the American Revolution. Starting in the late 16th century, the Dutch and other Europeans began to colonize the eastern coast of North America. The Dutch named their territory New Netherland, which became a colony of the Dutch Republic in 1624. The Dutch colonial settlement of New Amsterdam later became New York City. The present-day flag of New York City is based on the flag of Republic of the United Netherlands.[4]
Though the action was disavowed by the government of the Netherlands, on November 16, 1776, the fort at St. Eustatius gave the first formal salute (firing its guns nine times) to a ship flying the American flag.[5] On 19 April, 1782, John Adams was received by the States General in The Hague and recognized as Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America. By doing so, it became the second foreign country to recognize the United States[6] (after France on February 6, 1778).[7] The house that Adams purchased in The Hague became the first American embassy in the world.[8]

Having a religious country isn't a problem we have that here, though religion here is fastly disappearing and most people now aren't religious outside
our own "bible belt" ( yes we have one too..)
Problem is if people stick to that religion or going to "interpret it" for their own abuse.
Having multiple party governments prevents the switch from one to another party in a 2 party governmnt, we always need coalition governments where extremes are
prevented.

We don't have world domination aspirations, done that, got the T shirt and learned from that

As one of the original founders of NATO and the fore runner of the EU, the EGKS, we look for peace, and prosperity for all people, not the privileged few.
Call us socialists, we don't care ;)
