That and the fact that many religionists want to put their religious beliefs into law and to have the government advertise their religion on public property. Also, one can look at our money, all of which has "In God We Trust" on it. That isn't a proper thing for a secular government at all.

We certainly have a more religious population than the EU. That doesn't make us a theocracy.
