Although overt religiosity is perhaps more common in the USA than Australia, for example, that's pretty much true in all countries dominated by cultures originating in Europe, through sheer historical inertia. Even atheists, and adherents of non-Abrahamic religions for that matter, frequently use symbolism and metaphors drawn from Christian, or at least biblical tradition. If nothing else, the influence of the Authorised Version of the Bible on the English language makes it pretty much unavoidable.
