Why would this be a USA vs non-USA thing? I've only ever heard it mocked here in the states.

I feel like this is matter of personal taste not nationality, but I could be wrong.

I have absolutely no idea. Frankly that's one of the most bizarre takes I've seen in sometime. As you pointed out, the theme is relentlessly mocked in the US. By all Trek fans in general, really. Why someone would immediately make this a nationalistic thing I have no idea.

It's a very christian sounding song, and I associate that kind of thing with the US. Shrug.

It seems such generic American soft rock. Journey or bands like.

No matter that the singer is British and the song was originally written and recorded by Rod Stewart.

Even having lived in the US as a student, I never could understand the appeal of that stuff.
