Americans are united by religion in the belief of freedom of religion.
What about those who don't identity with any particular religion? Are they any less American?

In the united states, national identity generally takes precedence over ethnic and religious identity.

Indeed, a myriad of recently introduced laws in Malaysia show a growing trend of minority suppression.

Edit:
A bit more about Malaysia
