The fundamental answer is God. I'm not religious either. You have to look at dreams as though they were metaphorical language. Language with a structure like I'm talking to you now. My sentence has a beginning and an end and each word has a meaning. So do dreams. In dreams you have the big picture metaphor like "I was being chased by a clown" and subtle meanings (the clown was dressed in mostly red and had a knife). The big picture metaphor obviously reflects an attempt to avoid something and the subtle details of the color red and a knife clue you to negative intentions or conflict). God is the only reasonable explanation as to why your sleeping brain can know things your waking brain could never know. Because even if a psychic ability existed in humans there would have to some kind of intelligent system controlling that flow of information.Dream symbols are easy enough to figure out if you look at them through the eyes of God. To do that you have to ask yourself what does God do all day long? He watches. So whenever you dream of an animal go watch that animal's behavior and feel it. When you dream of a hammer go pick up a hammer and watch it being used. Experience the symbol to see the metaphor.

Because they arrogantly think America will never invade them if they keep doing it.

The dream sounds to me like moving out has caused some issues with your family and you are now trying to find yourself after having resented your time with your family. Perhaps, the discussion on the dream with your mother is actually a symbol for your intuitive feelings about your mother and why she is the way she is. This church sounds like a place you resent having to go. Basements in dreams usually symbolize the worst moment of our lives or the most uncomfortable darkest thoughts we think. If you are in this church basement it sounds like a symbol for having bad moment of really resenting having to see people you don't want to see and live in a way that you don't want to live. Either way, you might benefit from using the site like dreambible.com for some ideas. Search a few symbols.
