american nationalism is its own religion.

• the constitution is comparable to the Bible. read as if it was written by God, and is oftentimes considered indisputable 
• the flag is an idol in which people literally pledge their allegiance to
• patriotic anthems = hymns
• the military itself is a treated like a priest class; the “laypeople” are expected to display the utmost respect for their pure existence.
• indoctrination of children
• displays of patriotism determines how “faithful” the individual is
• presence of nationalism at different events (such as sports games, festivals, schools etc…) eerily resembles a theocracy
• when someone chooses not to partake in a patriotic ritual, they are considered a heretic
