American Christianity

American Christianity encompasses the diverse forms of Christian faith and practice in the United States, shaped by the country's particular history of religious liberty, frontier revivalism, and cultural individualism.

It spans mainline Protestantism, evangelical and Pentecostal movements, Catholicism, and uniquely American denominations like Mormonism.

The term often carries critical connotations, suggesting Christianity filtered through American values—prosperity, patriotism, personal choice—that may diverge from traditional Christian teaching: American Christianity has confused the gospel with the American Dream.
