How is it different? It’s not official state policy as in Red China, where it is very overt. And the fearsome “religious right” (leftist umbrella term for all believers, but they use it to mean those who have strong traditional belief) still is a force to be reckoned with.
Of course, the source of the heretical Christianity you speak of is the second world, i.e. the part of the world where communism ruled/rules absolutely and held/holds sway.
And when state and federal governments tell churches to stop administering the blood and body of Christ in church, to have virtual services, what do the churches do?
Do you really believe that in the US churches are immune from government influence, i.e. losing tax exempt status (thank God Trump rolled that back!) if they openly state their position on moral issues???
I don’t disagree with that it’s a perversion and abuse of Christianity, very wrong, but we have it here too! Sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes more subtle, sometimes more overt... Totalitarian regimes like the Chinese, former Soviets and Nazi’s are simply more brutal and blunt in their approach because they do not care about the political opposition (there is none), legal ramifications (there are none), bad press (won’t happen). they tend to be very open about their intent and MO, while here in the West we are a bit nicer and smile a lot, while doing much of the same.
