This paragraph on the US I found especially intriguing:
"These maps indicate that the United States is not a prototype of cultural modernization for other societies to follow, as some modernization writers assumed. In fact, the United States is a deviant case, having a much more traditional value system than any other postindustrial society except Ireland. (My emphasis). On the traditional/secular dimension, the United States ranks far below other rich societies, with levels of religiosity and national pride comparable with those found in some developing societies. The United States does rank among the most advanced societies on the survival/self-expression dimension, but even here, it does not lead the world. The Swedes, the Dutch, and the Australians are closer to the cutting edge of cultural change than the Americans". [Source: Chapter 2 from Inglehart, R & C. Welzel. 2005. Modernization, Cultural Change and Democracy: The Human Development Sequence. New York: Cambridge University Press].

Surveys like this are usually bullshit but I'm posting the chart for fun.

Sorry I just noticed this AFTER I made my own thread

Ireland and the USA were/are much more traditional than other English-speaking countries,
because of the influence of Catholicism and/or fundamentalist Protestantism,
but both have become more secular in recent years, probably around 2015 due to liberal globalisation

• Secular-rational values have the opposite preferences to the traditional values. These societies place less emphasis on religion, traditional family values and authority. Divorce, abortion, euthanasia and suicide are seen as relatively acceptable. (Suicide is not necessarily more common.)
