Another way to look at this particular religious extremism about the U.S. Constitution is to ask this:
To what extent does a more mainstream belief that the US has a special role in salvation history represent the religious expression of American exceptionalism (AE)? AE is the perception "that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nations, because of its unique origins, national credo, historical evolution, and distinctive political and religious institutions.
