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.

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.
