When has the U.S. taken control of another nation and forced them to be any religion?

Heck, although Christianity is the most prevalent, and 75-90% of the population believe in God (I've heard both stats cited), we have no official religion, hence, it's kind of hard to force one on anyone.

We may have treated the Natives like shit, and my have tried to force them to assimilate to our sociopolitical culture, but that and religion are two constitutionally separate entities. This is probably the number one thing the West has over much of the East. Our government isn't directly tied to any religious doctrine.
