Of course, church people always say the right things. But rarely does what they say reflect what is in their hearts. American church people typically worship the United States, not God. God revealed worshiping one’s country and people is a common temptation.
Psalm 45:10-11 KJV
[10] Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own
people, and thy father's house;
[11] So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
About 2004, soon after the United States invaded Iraq, some soldiers were attending the church service I was at. When it was brought to the people’s attention that there were soldiers in attendance, most everyone immediately jumped up to give them a standing ovation.
When have you ever seen church people give a standing ovation to God?
