I understand how some may view Religion in general, but aren't our individual values, an inner reflection of our inner mindsets?
Being Non Religious is voluntary.
Just as being Religious is voluntary.
Hence the question, do some and their non Religious mindsets align with U.S. Values?

The problem with monotheistic religions is the presence of a singular authority figure, which runs contrary to the idea of individual liberty (where each person is subservient only to themselves). Polytheistic religions mitigate it some by giving each believer a choice on which deity to follow, including the choice to follow multiple ones or none, and religions and other world views not involving gods may allow the individual to be their own master with no strings attached. Of course, it is not always the case - for example, dialectical materialism, while fundamentally being atheistic, has little regard for individual liberties. Lack of a singular deity is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for compatibility with the idea of individual liberty.
Now, I personally do not like to say that I espouse the US values, because, first, there is nothing special about the US that makes these values unapplicable to other countries, and second, because I believe that these values are universal and are based on pure logic, not on some national traditionalist system of beliefs. I do say that I am a voluntarist, however, and voluntarism partially intersects with the Founding Fathers' beliefs (although they did not go far enough into individualism, in my opinion, and stopped half-way through, compromising with the federalist collectivist lobby).
Voluntarism states that people must interact with each other in a purely consensual way, never employing coercion, except to protect themselves and others from coercion. Things like "Behave morally, or you will rot in Hell for eternity" are obviously coercive and incompatible with voluntarism; voluntatism does not place any conditions on your freedom and happiness and allows you to have them by default.
Politically, voluntarism generally manifests as anarcho-capitalism, although I find this term to be a little too restrictive.

"Actually @TKDB being religious is not always voluntary. Although at times it is. There is a thing called radicalized religious mindsets which happen as a result of actual grooming to become extremists.

When did the U S copyright these values seeing as they own them?
America holds the values as a constitutional United state, not an intellectual state. An advanced intelligent civil form of prejudice is still prejudice. Marriage and pregnancy hold a united state in relationship to citizenship of a nation they are not a civil right by that united state. While the America's owns the United States Constitution which is described by a statement of independence from non-constitutional presentation on a global level of states of law and governing. Not all governed states are in line with constitution and act often independent from other states unrestricted in this type governing.
1776 is when they had been copywritten, as they are claimed as a basic principle located as a focus of both a persons independence and constitution. They are values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as they have come to be in the world at a cost of human sacrifice of time and life. The so called ownership is an innuendo as America connects simple joins in union two basic concepts basic principle and legal precedent. Half had been copywritten in the American Declaration of Independence and the others in the United Sates of America Constitutional preamble.

Religion is a United State the independent religion is not a non-religion as united state, they are still a religion.
