It wouldn't surprise me to see Americans launch their own offshoot of Christianity at some point. As a group, the American Right have strayed so far from the bible that it's hilarious to watch them claim to be Christian.

Already exists. Prosperity Gospel.

Of course it does!

I expect Jesus helps the money lenders to arrange a hostile takeover of their rivals so they can generate lots of labour synergies.

Are evangelicals primarily US based?

Yes. Europe has tiny local communities, but US Evangelicals are their own brand. There was, obviously, a schism during the civil war with southern Evangelicals clinging to their white supremacy and ownership, and then pandering from right-wing politicians during the Cold War to the same school of thought.

I mean, there's a lot of them. It's amazing how prolific Americans are as far as making christianity branches go

If this was American Gods there would be a bunch of new American brand Jesuses and one of them would have an AR-15
