Matthew Evans- Is there a non-religious American Religion ?

There something interesting about America, how religious it is even among the nonreligious. With the diversity of religion in America we seem to have a strong sense of monotheistic morals embedded into our culture and government. This is evident everywhere, In God We Trust on our money, the Pledge of Allegiance (One Nation Under God). I believe there is an unidentified underlying American Religion of morality despite secularization. In some ways the unitary state has replaced God as ifalable. This becomes evident in our view of superiority to all other countries. While many countries are patriotic we go the extra step to identify ourselves as being "better" than everyone else. This is rare in the modern world, especially in the Western tradition given what happened during World War II due to nationalism. Also, if you look at other western secular democracies we are the most conservative on most issues. There’s got to be a reason for that. I believe there is an underlying American religiously based identity that comes out in our thought process even if its labeled as religious.
