Just because it is implied that America is blessed by God, should in no way be misconstrued into, "and we are the only ones."
For me to say that my family is blessed, based on our beliefs and actions is simply my faith. I know my family is blessed by God, but also know many other families around the world are also blessed.
I don't try to determine who is "more" blessed. I'm satisfied with our blessings and am happy to tell the world about them.

"The Martyr" (excerpt)
There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand:
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
--Herman Melville (written after the assasination of President Abraham Lincoln)
