I think most religious people in the usa were indoctrinated into their religion (christianity most likely) as a child, and then they keep their beliefs because of the atractivity of an idilic afterlife for eternity in paradise, that and they just never considered not believing in god because they have been all their lives. The easiest way to become president in the usa is to preach to them and apply religeon to the political issues, and say "god bless the usa" over and over and over...
Obama is nice because he doesent do that so much, and keeps his religion to himself, President Mush was terrible about that, he was more of a preacher than a politician, probably because of his lack of understanding of political issues.
100 years ago and before, it was expected of presidential canadates and presidents not to speak of their religious veiws/beliefs, and none of them did, also back then none of our money had god on it and neither did the United Statesian pledge of alligeance; it is amazing and somewhat scary how much the USA has degenerated over the many years.
