From my outside perspective, it's the pledge of allegiance.
Do you really have your kids stand up every morning and swear an oath to your flag? That's some real cult shit.
Nothing could be more American than that pledge: it was something that was first propagated by a flag company that was trying to sell more flags.
And then berate them for thinking that the ideals espoused in that pledge are real in any way.
