During the Cold War, the US was opposed to the USSR, and they were an officially atheist nation, therefore the US wished to emphasize that it was a religious nation and therefore the opposite of the USSR. The main conflict was between economic systems, capitalism vs. communism, and between political systems, democracy vs. Dictatorship, but there was a religious element as well.
