In America, there are widely held similar beliefs about its exceptionalism, and also we have “In God We Trust” on our currency and coins, and historically, and to some extent even now, the United Kingdom, where the monarch is also head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith, and in the past, this was also the case of Germany and Austria-Hungary. It also was or is the case with regards to Spain, and Greece, and Italy, and Romania, and Ireland, and Cyprus, and Poland, and Bulgaria, with regards to their special relationship to Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and to Ethiopia and Armenia with regards to their importance to their respective Oriental Orthodox religions.
American and Russian exceptionalism are very unique because they have religious overtones that most other countries do not have. I say that as somebody that lived in the UK for several years, there is really nothing like it over there.
