Americans are not obliged to support "Christian views", and of course Christians do not agree on what proper Christian views are.
Most denominations claim to agree on the Nicene Creed.
Of course, part of the Nicene Creed states that nearly every person who has ever died is still dead, awaiting to be judged by Jesus when he finally gets around to returning for a second time.
The reality seems to be that when we die, our soul immediately floats up to Heaven where it meets St. Peter who decides where to send it. Most of the time Americans say stuff like "well, we know he's in a better place now". And that is NOT what the Bible or the Nicene Creed says.
