America is religious because of a multitude of factors:

Puritan origins
The use of the Bible to justify American slavery, Manifest Destiny, and the American work ethic
The use of the Bible to console freed slaves
The descendants of the Great Awakening
The myth of America - A Christian Nation

I'm sure there are more influences.
