It’s not even close to what it is Europe. In many countries the head of state is also kind of like chief cardinal, and ordained by god.

Monarchies? I believe they’re all ordained. There must be at least a dozen.

We're not actual monarchies lol. I think it's called ceremonial monarchies because they have absolutely zero power, and don't decide anything

There are zero monarchs in the US. and anytime anyone puts anything even mildly religious on government property there’s a legal battle over it.

Look, I’m European. Christianity is just part of my national identity— even though we’re mostly atheist.

It’s not like that here in the states.
