The difference is that while many people in America choose to be agnostic or atheist, the overwhelming majority were raised, at least to one degree or another, with Judeo-Christian values and teachings.
When you have an entire society raised in absence of those values and teachings, especially in the technological and cold world that we live in today, what appears "bizarre" to outsiders seems perfectly normal to those living within that society.
