Hello, zebo.
American Christianity, especially evangelicalism, has adopted the notion that the United States exists and prospers because God desires it to be a beacon of righteousness and truth to all nations. American exceptionalism is, unfortunately, a phrase I have heard from the pulpit.
Humans have a psychological propensity for thinking they are special, and religion enjoys taking advantage of egos built around 'Murican patriotism.
