Later I found out that this sentence had a grand source. The first half sentence comes from the American national anthem. It is printed on the American currency and is also the American National Motto. The later part comes from Edwards Deming, the American managerialist and statistician who makes a great contribution to modern management.He advocates that only the data is the scientific measurement. In the following days, the longer I stayed in America, the deeper I understand it. God is on behalf of the immortal that is great, high, virtue; the data is small, factual and real logical unit. Trusting in God and data at the same time seems rather conflicting, but they blend together in the American common value, which reflects the unique aspect of American society.

America has more than three thousand universities and more than three hundred thousand churches. In quantity, each university is surrounded by a hundred churches in average. Thus when come to study in Amerca, one will get a close touch with Christians inevitably. Some religious denominations even come without invitation and do missionary work. The first year in America, an early morning at weekend, I and my roomates were waken up by the knock, we were in pyjamas and rubbed the sleepy eyes, and had to listen to two young ladies with smile to introduce the Bible. I must admit, the invisible God, is actually doing "something": he removed the alert and barriers between people.

In America, I am a foreigner and a person of foreign races, two foreigns, but I have never been trapped and played tricks on by Americans from my education to tourism and to work. Contradictorily, I feel more concern and warm from common people even strangers.Once I get lost and ask passerby for help. After the particular explanation, he see my still confused expression then drive me to the place. And once I lost my cellphone, after many difficulties, it comes to me still. It likes that there is a invisible moral match, everyone compete to be a good person. Why?

According to a public opinion statistics from "The New York Times", 80% of Americans claim themselves to be followers of God, they are doing, while God is looking! No various grades and ranks, no rich and poor ethnically, there is no circle, no outsiders, God is the only outside judge of the circle. Apart from agreeing that God is the only “outsider”, Americans also think that all people are made by flesh and blood and will make mistakes. Since that everyone is common, mutual forgiveness becomes the inherent meaning. It is the American's appeal to deity that believing in the God.When they look upward to the "Heaven",their reasonal senses get a rest for a little while.However, as soon as vision gets back to inpersonality world,most U.S. citizens emphasized that one should used data to illustrate, no data no science. Seeking truth from data is the consensus of American academic circle. Data is regarded to be the source of knowledge, and without data researches cannot move a single step. Americans even carry data analysis forward to politics this kind of old discipline and make it into real science.

"Policy science" what we often say also originate from America. It means basing on data and stressing details, using statistics, opsearch, game theory, and management to analyse political issues. In the business field, data even is regarded as wealth.The ability of data collecting and analysing often represented the core competence, and closely linked to the profit of the corporation. In recent years, the U.S. government continues to introduce new measures of respecting data, using data, opening data to the public. Data has become an important carrier to embody civil rights.

In May, 2009, American government took the lead in bring out a data portal site: www.data.gov, and set off a worldwide upsurge of “data democratization”. It has made public more than ten million items of data from various government departments, encouraging citizens and enterprises to re-collect, re-analyze and re-develop the raw data collected by the government to promote the transparency and openness. In the month that the website open, there are 100 000 people download the data, many people who are always suspect with the data collected by White House, account them again by themselves.
