Just making an old scripture a holy grail does not compensate for having no really long history. I personally think that America deeply regrets that it sent it's former king to hell - America desperately would love to have a monarchy. That's where the cult about the president, the extreme patriotism trying to compensate the weak national feeling of unity, and this rallying around the flag is coming from.
