For the most part, it's hard to underestimate individual crackpots. Take them as a whole, and it's a different story however.
That said, Peter Medawar had it right[0]:
"The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledygook than the rest of the world put together."
