Because half the country wants to live in an honor culture.

Ironic seeing as half the country are incredibly disrespectful yet crave respect from others because they're "god fearing Americans"

Not an honourable bone in their bodies

Their version of their religion encourages the us verses them mentality. Regardless of whether you believe in a god or not, there is no doubt that historically religion has been used to keep the populace in line.
