You are describing America, the exception, not the norm for the New World, nothing South of our borders was worth a darn and most had a government religion.

Absolutely.

There was a confluence of many strains of Christianity and bible belief that forged the alliance we now know as the United States. An objective look would make it appear that God went out of His way to not give the glory to any denomination big or small, with Jews and even Deists and Unitarians, and “weird” followings like the LDS, having a say.

Now, carrying on the blessing required a large enough proportion of gospel belief. Once that fell on the floor, we had a house that was swept clean and made ready for devils to live.
