I imagine that is the case. I used to live in Louisiana and the influence of the church there - in every aspect of life from family values to education - was extremely strong.
The UK had religious influence in its set up too but events since have taken a different path. As I say, I read that over 50% of people in the US go to church - in the UK that's less than 2%. The US is not a theocracy, of course, but as you say, the influence of the church is ingrained in a way that it isn't in Europe.
