    indeed, since according to his holiness st bhagavan shree matt christman (sallalhu alayhi wasallam), the type of twisted pro-capitalist christianity practiced in america at large can be categorized as worship of satan, an inverted mockery of the religions original teleology

      I concure, I did the math and independently arrived at this conclusion; Christian Fascism is the worship of Satan as understood by mainline Christsians.

      Personally I argue that Christian Fascism should be studied as a neo-religion that, like Mormonism, has very limited relation to any mainline form of Christianity. Even it’s shared common origins are sketchy as much of its core beliefs were developed in America by people who explicitly said you didn’t have to be able to read the bible to “understand” it and basically made up their own thing using the bible as a prop. Trying to treat Catholicism, mainline Protestantism, Orothodox Christianity, and Christian Fascism as if they all share core beliefs and practices confuses far more than it enlightens. Christian Fascism is best studied in contrast to preceding and contemporary Christian Religions.

        Saw Mormonism, reading other comments about how Christianity has been perverted by capitalism. Immediately thought we should call it Mammonism. You’re welcome.
