What it means to be an American?

Good article. If we compare India, we too find solid priciples laid down in our Constitution, but as a State (secular state) we have not been able to clear the clouds of being secular Vs pseudo-secular. We treat our citizens based upon 'minority' and 'majority' whereas this is factually incorrect in a secular state. And I see no signs of our power-hungry and morally -debased politicians to act firmly on the principle of secularism in the decades to come. Unfortunately, we continue to pay the price for that!
