As far as I know there are no serious sectarian conflicts anywhere in America that I am aware of.
Well, you kind of seem to. Don't Christians control and fund most of the big political names there? Aren't there huge fundraisers for Christian concerns? Don't they pretty much dominate what goes on in schools, regardless of the makeup of the student body? Looking from the outside, it would very much seem that one religious group (ie Christians) control a whole lot of the infrastructure of your society, no? Like, when we have elections nobody bothers that much about the religious beliefs or practices of the candidates, whereas it seems to be seen as a much bigger deal with yours.
