I heard somebody say once that evangelicals don't believe Christianity is the last best hope for America, they believe America is the last best home for Christianity. I think that put it into perspective for me. That while some American Christians, nominally Catholics, will somewhat acknowledge some other parts of the world as being Christian, or having a population of Christians, Evangelicals do not believe this. For evangelicals The only time Christians exist outside of America is when they're oppressed minorities in China, or middle eastern Christians being beheaded by isis. Evangelicals have made American civil religion part of Christianity much in the way pagan festivals were co-opted by early Christians to ease conversion.

A lot of evangelicals will accuse catholics of being non-Christians. It's rooted in old school anti-Irish, anti-Italian racism. They will weaponize denominations against other minority groups when it suits them, only to turn around and claim those people when (like you said) it's some other country doing something.

One of the most exhausting and repetitive stupid questions I'd get asked by fundies in the past was "are you Catholic or Christian?"

Yeh. It's so weird. Yeah, guy, your tiny little splinter of a splinter of a schismatic micro-church lead by a failed ski-doo salesman facing criminal fraud charges is definitely the one true faith that reflects the will of god.

My mom would ask my girlfriends this... ๐Ÿ˜‘

But with the emphasis going the other way basically because we're raised Catholic.

It sucks when fundie brainworms get picked up and used by non-fundies.

Yeah, mainline protestants are mostly reconciled with the church, but Christian Fascists and their TradCath cronies think papists, and most mainline protestants, are puppets of Satan.

the Biden administration should be proof that we can never let papists into the white house

The United States is full of bubble world fundies that don't consider Christians outside of the bubble world to truly exist in a meaningful way.

They live in a special hell-heaven on Earth that's straight out of a Soundgarden music video.
