It's a United States thing. They use the term liberal to refer to social liberalism whereas you're referring to neoliberalism.
Edit: On second glance, your Wikipedia link is to straight liberalism, which includes things the Republican party doesn't support, like secularism. So who knows.
Originally, america was secular. Then the 1950s happened.
Yeah, saw that, too. They are still liberals (as in: support neoliberal policies), but with christo-fascist tendencies. The article states that these points are contended right dow, though.
