1. 'American' Christianity - would cover a fairly extensive range

of brand, thought, speech and action. (and thus making such a 'label' rather meaningless - and pointless?)

No doubt there are plenty out there, even within the so called 'Christian' community, that would agree there are some bad actors, and seriously astray. And alongside, also some plain old charlatans and mountebanks (which religion has always had to deal with). But the misguided and frauds in no way make for the whole - and certainly don't justify a blanket statement of "American Christianity Is Cruel On Purpose"

(and, yes, non-christian agnostic here. - and no 'friend' of either church, or religion ... - likewise, not very fond of broad brush, nor sloppy propaganda.)

Is just as tone deaf and intentionally missing the point as “not all men.”

It doesn’t say All American Christianity and even discusses Liberation X-tianity and how it is different and that we should team up with them to stop the Christo-fascists.

Did you Actually watch the whole video because it sure doesn’t sound like it.

Which almost immediately sets the stage for this being a piece of 'schlock'
And that ridiculously broad brush statement is what I responded to.

If this kind of stuff ticks a lot of boxes for you ... Go ahead and sing its praises. Your privilege.
But I won't be joining you.

Sadly it had the usual reply of people who didn’t even bother to watch the video. I can see that they are replying in here too…

Anyway, I wanted to say Sorry I didn’t mean to steal your thunder!

If you want I will add a link in that post to here!

It is a great video regardless. Thank you!!
