In theory, no. But it is still affected by it... the church has kept the US from doing many things, including allowing Gay Marriage.

Why does the US have so many religions?

It's hard for a US citizen to see how the question makes sense. There are many religions practiced in the US (along with many people who practice no religion at all) because those religions exist. Anyone is free to practice religion in the US as he/she sees fit, as long as the civil law is not violated. There is no state religion here, and no requirement to practice a religion. Freedom of religion is one of the issues that led to the existence of the US in the first place.So, in a sense, it is not "the US" that has many religions; in terms of the civil law, enshrined in the Constitution, the US has no religion in particular. It is the citizens of the US who are free to practice whatever religion they choose.
