Interesting question…
It’s kinda similar to the question; “Do you love the gifts [blessings] or the giver [God]?”
I’m an American, and I love America, but I think many people in the USA cherish (really idolize) America/the American flag more than the providence/resources/great people, inventions, & documents/liberty & justice/overall success that God has gifted America with.
As an example: the US “Pledge of Allegiance”: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Shouldn’t allegiance be given to God?

@Similarname agree they conflate nationhood with sainthood and vice versa. to me, our constitution is a law and different than faith. but, i can't speak for anyone else here.

No. The Prelude to the US Constitution was the Declaration of Independence.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The Constitution, (our law), does NOT mention God, deliberately, because one of the laws stated therein had to do with the separation of Church and State.
God is of course, the ultimate law, and all the righteous laws of man, including those within our Constitution, are based upon the Ten Commandments.
On our money, we print, "In God we trust."

No, too many people with differing opinions on both ( God, Allah, or Jehova) and the U.S. . Constitution.
The input
Of “God” nay have a “ place “ in America but not a force in belief that will abolish the constitution, just ask a person who does not believe in A/God.
