Seen as a European (and although I'm not christian), US evangelicals have nothing in common with christianity. Except maybe the symbolism.

It's because they schismed specifically to redefine Christianity in terms of pro-slavery.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham was part of it too, as proof that God wanted only White people to dominate all others who were cursed by him forever.
It's literally where the nazis got a lot of their stuff from, Hitler mentioned Jim Crow as the model Germany needed to follow in Mein Kampf.
The more I find out about religion in the US, the more insane it is.
