What's Wrong with Christianity in the USA

This article provides some perspectives on what has gone wrong with Christianity in the USA. Specifically, Christianity appears to have been corrupted to support capitalism and specific political interests and individuals.

Books Removed from Bible

//TOOD: what and why

Not Following Jesus

Lost Christian Virtues

Media and Televangelists

//TODO: pandering for membership

Propsperity Gospel

//TODO: not just wealth; ownership and control of labour, land, resources, and women

Fear of Exclusion

Merged Church and State

Trump and the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement appear to have merged church and state (federal government) in a manner that is against traditional American values such as the separation of church and state //TODO: enshrined in the constitution?

Hatred of Minorities

Along with racist hatred against ethnic minorities, including those that are traditionally Christian, many Christians in the United States have problems with other minorities such as homosexuals and trans people. The New Testament of the Christian Bible does not support any of these perspectives.

Abortion

//TODO: Used to rile people up
//TODO: Supposedly care for embryos but don't seem to care for living babies, children, or adults
//TODO: creates excess labor that reduces costs for capitalists

Against Education

//TODO: Stifle education, logic, science, critical thinking, and independent thought
//TODO: Don't think; just obey (people, not Christ or God or the Bible) and believe: enables manipulation.
//TODO: prefer/enable authoritarian leaders
//TODO: prefer not to think: stupid, lazy
