That's what Protestantism is! Prosperity gospel is the Calvinist idea that riches on Earth are proof of Salvation, and people who are poor or get conquered are clearly not saved.
Fair enough, but I'd still argue that American Protestants have evolved as very, very different beasts compared to European Protestants. Even the Germans.
In particular I'd say millennarianism plays a much stronger influence on American Protestantism than European.
Well yeah, Germany has had a different political economy for the past 5 centuries. Compare American evangelicals to Ulster Presbyterians or Afrikaners, and you'll see a lot more similarities.
Edit: Also, keep in mind "God is with Us" (as he was with our fathers) was a popular Prussian and later Nazi slogan. Any Chud in Ulster, Virginia, Queensland, Texas, or Florida from 1650 to 2021 could easily relate to that. But tell me again about how American evangelicals are uniquely "not Christian" compared to other Prots.
