God damn it... you were kinda on the right track, but this is just off the rails.
I won't speak for Britain, but I imagine it's somewhat similar-- the US has cosmopolitan values that are rooted in both founding figure's religious persecution and our own less than great history of intolerance. The fact that we have a majority Christian population does not mean non Christian values are antithetical to American values. The important values to worry about are freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, separation of church and state, equal treatment under the law. These are not Christian values, they're modern western values.
Kindly keep your foot out of your mouth while we are unfortunately stuck in the same foxhole.
