美國是世界上宗教最多元化的國家之一,不論是本土信仰還是外來信仰都能在美國蓬勃發展。[156]大多數美國人表示,宗教在他們的生活中扮演著「非常重要」的角色,這在已開發國家中並不常見,但在美洲國家中卻十分普遍。[157]美國是第一個禁止設立國教的國家,其憲法第一修正案禁止聯邦政府制定任何法律來確立國教或禁止信教自由。[158]該法條是少數宗教團體和各州人民爭取的結果,也受到了新教和理性主義的影響。美國最高法院解釋道,該法條的設立是為了防止政府以公權力干涉宗教。此外,美國憲法第六條第三款規定:合眾國政府之任何職位或公職,不得以任何宗教標準作為任職的必要條件。該法條以維吉尼亞宗教自由法令(英语:Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom)為範本。[159]

All he had to do was to commit himself to the political ideology centered on the abstract ideals of liberty, equality, and republicanism. Thus the universalist ideological character of American nationality meant that it was open to anyone who willed to become an American.
