Everything we do builds on basic blocks - the difference with respect to a religion is in the nature of the assertions as apprehended by the holder.
You and I and John and Uncle Ogg all live(d) in societies, and we may exist in varying degrees of assent to or conformity in our societies - but a religious belief is inviolable. It is truer than true, and we all agree with it. An american may be a person who is attached to america and agree with her principles. A religious american does not entertain the contrapositive assertion -unamerica, as being capable of being true™.
We can add america to my list of sacred-alikes to explore, if we like. My preferred future, and the one I work towards and hope to make true, is the united states of a greener earth. When you roll that around in your mouth and consider what you may have gleaned from conversations with me over the years - it becomes easy to see why I can't be argued out of it.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
