Because most Christians, whether they know it or not, actually want to emulate nations like Iran by having a theocracy.They think that since they believe everyone should and I doubt highly that most of them would object to having their beliefs made as the law of the land.The only thing stopping them from this is the way our Constitution was written.Also, just as a side note, they are at least not as fanatical as some Islamic nations.But that is only because the rest of us keep them in check whenever we can.

I think that the real fanatics are the Hindus in India who keep the caste system and won't eat meat. The Shites in Palestine who blow up people to wipe out Israel also come to mind.
For the most part religious Americans are passionate but I would venture to say most are not fanatical. If we were there would not be as much tolerance for all of the religions in America.

Human beings are basically "hard-wired" to ask philosophical and theological questions, once their more basal needs are satisfied, and the problem is that some folks desire their "answers" in simple, black & white form. Unfortunately, life isn't like that.
This is why it's always easy for some charismatic charlatan to come alone and create a cult - people want answers, they want them in simplest terms, and they like it when a "prophet" hands it to them on a virtual platter.
That, and they feel guilty if they're not participating in "services" or "prayer meetings" on a regular basis.

And we are blessed by it. Let me help you reconstruct your question:
Why is the USA so determined to remain faithful to God. They who are the said 'only remaining superpower' , a world leader amonst other nations, wealth enough to display it over all other nations, free to believe how we will no matter what our government thinks?

America was founded by religious zealots looking for freedom to worship and persecute as they saw fit.
