Americans: why not adopt a local Native American religion, to replace a remote alien Middle Eastern one?

It's obvious that Americans are understandably proud of where they were born and raised, as expressed by the ubiquity of the Stars and Stripes, the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner", and phrases like “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right”. So it’s odd that over three quarters of Americans profess a faith in a foreign religion from an alien land, an ocean and a continent away – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There are plenty of Native American religions, such as Drum Region, Earth Lodge Religion, Ghost Dance Religion, Dream Dance, Feather Religion, and Peyote Religion – so wouldn’t it more logical and congruent with American nationalism to adopt a local American religion?
