Jesus had an incredible impact on people back then. They would follow his orders, and when they sinned, they would be in sorrow for breaking his laws. They always thought that you were born a sinner and you can't change it. They also thought that you were born to go to heaven or to hell, you can do anything, but it still won't change your final destination. You were either born "elect" or "unregenerate."

They think America is a perfect country and they want their country to follow in our footsteps. They think "grace" is a free gift of salvation, and everyone is born a sinner and you can't do anything to change it.
