>but rather that the shittiness of people is not well correlated with what country they're from.

Would you say it even doesn't correlate in the US with what church they go to? Whether they go to a Fundamentalist Baptist church or are Quakers? I find that hard to imagine to be true in a meaningful way. And if it can be, then it can also hold for villages, cities and countries.

>I'm sure Switzerland has plenty of shitty locals, even if it might manifest in a different way.

The way it manifests is incredibly important and cannot be waved away. That's an entire half of what makes up the issue.

As far as their desirability as neighbors, I have no idea how it correlates to church membership. I mostly don’t know what churches, if any, my neighbors go to. The old Trump-loving Catholics who used to live next door were fine neighbors. I don’t know the religious proclivities of anyone else in the neighborhood that I can think of.
