"So is the US a country and Americani a religion of sorts?"

In a sense. A big factor in the Civil War was that there was a greater loyalty to the state in which someone resided than the country as a whole. Ever since, there has been a conscious effort to try to build an American identity. Now, unfortunately, part of that effort involves mythologizing our history.
