Abstract (EN)

The United States (US) has a feature that has influenced the course of the world since its inception on July 4, 1776. So it is necessary to understand the dynamics it contains well and to understand what it means to them correctly. The fate of the continent has changed since the majority of migrants came from the European continent and began a new life on the Americas. First, the migrants who fought wars with the locals of the continent then stood up to those who ruled themselves from the other side of the ocean and set up the US. They had to provide some common cultural union, even though they were in their differences. They have revealed various common ideas in order to sustain social, political and cultural unity. Thus, the culture codes have emerged and these codes have become a form of behavior. The reasons for many behaviors of the US in domestic or foreign policy are more understandable when evaluated through these cultural concepts. Even if the US limits religious influence with laws to exclude religious influences in the administration, it seems extremely difficult for presidents and people who have a say in the administration to avoid religious influences. Therefore, Christians, whom we will call "Puritans", have been instrumental in shaping the state since its inception, and then there is an ongoing religious influence in discourse, even if religious influences are removed by law.
