I have been interested in different cultures for a while, probably because I find so many deficiencies in my own culture. Which countries/​cultures do you find to be generally the most rationally based? Japan and Sweden especially seem to have quite a secular populace mostly immune to silly ideologies and superstition. Hong Kong also seems to be a place of practically minded people who do not put much stock into religion. I cannot recall any specific data on these places other than a general lack of religion. What other measures would be useful for ranking countries by rationality?
