The desire for personal progress accomplishes the same thing. At any rate American culture enables the idea that faith/religion(in Christ), football, money and (for some bizarre reason) conservative politics (or any combination of the previous) pretty much equal the same thing: God. Just visit a high school or college football game on the weekend and try to argue otherwise. With some exception I think these things are ok on their own, I'd rather have little to do with them with that kind of purposeful ignorance injected into them.
