The words God Bless America imply that somehow the US is above every other country. They imply that America is to the world what jesus was to humans (if he existed, which he didn't). No other country is 'blessed by God', just the US, because it is somehow more deserving than anywhere else.
Why, because an immigrant who came here for freedom and a better life felt that way?? How does the imply that we are above another country?
