I don't disagree with your perspective, as I share it as well, however, what America's governance is based on could be construed as a blending of these ideals with those of the pagan Greeks, whose democratic philosophy was the foundation for our own.

We even developed a government sanctioned imperative to copy classic Greco/Roman architecture as the official architecture of our capital city, it's monuments, offical buildings, museums, libraries, as well as most banks and court buildings across the land.
