They are very different still. Being an American in itself has no affiliation with who is currently elected. It doesn't mean you subscribe to the narratives of the current political party, or that you have participated in wrongdoings by other people throughout history. It is just something you are.

Being born into a religion though is something you actually do. It is a practice & involves actions, which are usually associated with mental illness. If you practiced the same tenants of Christianity but instead talked to Fred who is an imaginary being living in the sky who told you to do things, you'd likely be diagnosed with a mental disorder.
