The idea that manifest destiny was responsible for growth in territory and or intercontinental railroads is a myth. In the US people sought gold in California. The government offered free land to homesteaders for national interest, not because of any "destiny". It was good chatter for newspapers, but I dare say anyone living in New York City moved to Oklahoma on the basis of manifest destiny. War with Mexico was not based on US president Polk having a vision from God. And the Mexican government did not fight to regain Texas because of religion.
