BMoon,
It seems you are saying that the Netherlands has greater moral capitol to rest on than the US. Is this really your intent?
The Netherlands has a long history of this type of tolerance and have long been less overtly religious than the US*. It is not a new thing. Why do you think the Pilgrims were allowed in and were then in such a hurry to leave?
* They have also long been urbanized particularly in the west, the social controls have long been loose as mentioned above, and immigration has long been relatively open (though there are now attempts to make it more restrictive).
