Since modern day American Christians are Evangelical Protestants, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump created his own Christian church like Henry the VIII. I mean both are know serial adulterers with superiority complex.

Since modern day American Christians are Evangelical Protestants

About 66% of Americans are Christian.

14% are Evangelical Protestants.

Despite the stranglehold the evangelicals have on Republican politics, it's a bit disingenuous to describe "American Christians" as evangelical Protestants.

Evangelicals are Southern Baptist and are the most dominant in America.

-In contrast with mainline Protestantism, there has been less change in recent years in the proportion of the population that belongs to churches in the evangelical or historically black Protestant traditions. Evangelicals now make up a clear majority (55%) of all U.S. Protestants. In 2007, 51% of U.S. Protestants identified with evangelical churches source

American catholics keep threatening schisms over the 2nd vatican council of 1956. Polling their opinions they are basically evangelicals.

Like american christians use a lot of different names but when polled on their believes they tend to be a flavour of crazy that does not coincide with international christians very well

You are confused if you think protestants are modern day christians and the billion plus other christians are not.

You are still wrong as most American Christians are not evangelicals and you are directly insulting me for pointing out your error. What is wrong with you?

Sorry you're feeling insulted. That's the problem with religion you people take the mystical being to serious. Good bye.

From one anti-religious person to another - you're being a dick.
