America has pockets

Pockets? It's between a quarter and half of the US, depending on how you put the threshold for "literal faith." Secularization is also mostly hollowing out the 'mainline' denominations, that are more European in their presentation of things, while the hardcore denominations are growing.

Yes but is it faith or a culture of values?

This is very easy to determine. The kind of cultural Christianity that is going on here is basically like conservative guys saying "XY is against a Christian system / order of values". They are not saying "Jesus/Bible said no". Are these people saying the former or the laer?
