Because this country was founded by a bunch of religious fanatics. (Have any other countries gotten started that way? Serious question, not snark.)
Possibly the sauce upon which Paul choked to death. 
It’s literally true. Texas GOP: No More Critical Thinking in Schools.
How about Pakistan?
Was it founded by religious fanatics? It doesn’t really show in our Constitution. There were certainly religious fanatics present including Quakers and Puritans, but to say religious fanatics founded the United States isn’t accurate.
The northern colonies were founded by religious fanatics but their influence waned long before the Revolution and didn’t encompass the whole country.
Bingo. As one of my history professors put it, the people in the northern colonies mostly came for God and Cod.
wasn’t there claims about the Procor and Gamble logo being satanic?
There was. Any reasonable person could look at their company logo and see quite clearly they were Satanist. Or something. I don’t really understand why. Interestingly enough, P&G sued some Amway distributors in the early 2000s. Seems the distributors were spreading rumors about P&G’s involvement with Satanism as a means of bolstering their own Amway sales. P&G won.
As said, yes; there was a Straight Dope column on it. The accusations eventually drove them to abandon their old logo.
It’s a shame in a way, the old logo was much more interesting looking. The modern one is as blandly corporate as it gets.
In fairness, it’s the direction of travel of all logos, panic or not. There are good strategic reasons for simplifying logos over time as a brand becomes better known and more diversified.
But I agree that aesthetically I like the old logo better of course.
But the face is facing left! That’s the Satanic direction. The direction of Goodness and Righteousness and Light is to the right. Everyone knows Jeebus was a rabid Republican.
[Extreme sarcasm if that isn’t clear]
You make it sound sinister.

‘It’s Satan’s Will You Did That’?
Several quite different sets of colonists established themselves here. Almost all of them were trying to escape something or other. The Puritans and Quakers and Anabaptists were being oppressed for their beliefs (the latter two sects were being burned as heretics). I would not call the latter two “religious fanatics” although they had strong beliefs. The southern colonies were settled primarily as business opportunities by younger sons and other disadvantaged gentry who fancied setting up a new feudal society with themselves as the lords over the black slaves. Nothing religious about that. The next waves of immigrants were mostly seeking economic opportunity as well – Scots, Irish, Italian, etc.
I stand corrected, then.
Some people also had kittens and puppies because newer quarters had George Washington facing away from the “In God We Trust” phrase.
There’s a new novel (out today) that looks at the Satanic Panic from an odd direction - it’s Charles Stross’ A Conventional Boy
In 1984, Derek Reilly was just another spotty teenage dungeon master growing up in middle England. But then a secret government agency tasked with suppressing magical intrusions received a tip-off – and one midnight raid later, his life was turned upside down by the Satanic D&D Panic.
