She's protesting with a church, which is very standard in American history, even (often especially) when it's protesting against American policy.
I don't think she's like the most American character or stands out as particularly American next to, say, Stan, Sandra, Matthew, Henry, Gregory....any other American character. My beginning point was to say that I didn't see Paige as committed to a particularly American ideal any more than Henry is--she doesn't seem to consciously associate her values with "the American way" or attach them to any American exceptionalism. I just also don't see her as detached from it either, any more than Henry is. She doesn't even really know anything else.
