Why has Evangelical Christianity become so big in the USA but not in other countries?

Question

I've traveled throught the U.S., Canada and Western Europe, and while it exists in other countries to a small, insignificant degree, the only place where Evengelical Christianity truly flourishes is in the United States. Your thoughts as to why this is?

Answer 1

Friend - They use FEAR and we are in fearful times. I apologize for my evangelical brothers and sisters. GBU

Answer 2

Western Europe is a single region, one which happens to have a heavy influence on Canada. While Evangelical Christianity is doing well in the USA,it is also flourishing in areas such as South Korea.
This characteristic of Europe will increase throughout the 21st century as the European population declines and native Europeans are replaced by Muslim immigrants. Unless if Europe breaks the mold and attempts to reach its immigrants with Christianity, I see little chance of them hearing it themselves much longer.

Answer 3

Check out South Korea. Many other countries have embraced Christianity. Europe has embraced a secular philosophy that almost denies Christ. In any country where people begin to take credit for their own good fortunes, Christianity is on the downward trend.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, huh? Americans are very closed-minded, so it only makes sense that we have a closed-minded religion like evangelical Christianity. Other countries are laid back and let people do their own things. Here we have to be fat and tell gays they can't get married because it somehow is our business. Do you realize why this country has a rather horrible reputation?

Answer 5

They will first grow a third arm and call it "The Hand of God" Now this "hand" will only be used certain ways. 1. For priests to hold children still while they bugger them. 2.So that they can actually cover their eyes and both ears at the same time as to not let reality in... 3. So they can masturbate and its not a sin, as it was "The Hand of God" 4. So each adult can hold 3 children in place to be brain washed.. These are the things that will happen , How do I know this you ask? the answer is simple...................... FAITH..hahahahahahaha

Answer 6

It's a deep-seated anti-intellectual trend in the culture of great swaths of the country. This results in inferior scientific education and a general disdain for learning - in too much of the land. By the way, this is not uniform in the U.S. either.

Answer 7

Because we have freedom here- PRAISE GOD!

There are many missionaries and ministries out there in the world sharing the gospel- even in China! And they do it secretly because in many of those countries the Bible is not allowed- that is so sad! But people are being saved daily because of this! So I praise God for that!! God reaches anyone!

Answer 8

What makes you think they are not in other countries??? Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and parts of South America are very strong with Evangelicals.

Answer 9

I think it goes all the way back to the early christian settlers, the USA has a history of evanglelical christianity from it's beginning

Answer 10

There are more Evangelical Christians in China than in the USA. There are also more in Russia than in the USA. (not percentage, but numbers).
In Latin American countries, the percentages of Evangelical Christian are often as high, if not higher than, in the USA.

Answer 11

George W. Bush! He has allowed them to control him, and he actually believes all of this malarkey. I actually heard him say Jesus talks to him, tells him what to do. When we get rid of him---it will die down.
I have traveled alot, too----and he is, personally, a laughing stock to people. (Plus they hate the politics he has stuck us with).

The polls said 70% of them voted for Republicans this last mid-term election. See? They are on their way out--------we outvoted them.
