Thought it would be Benedict Arnold for the US. Is Judas not considered a betrayer in Christian communities outside the US? Seems weird to connect Judas uniquely to American culture.

I have some idea of the US where and when the original article is talking about, but can't speak of elsewhere.

Not sure where you read the "unique" statement in my comment, but it was never meant to be implied.

American culture is very Christian influenced, even now.

e: I would be curious if the name "Judas" or its equivalent is a common synonym for traitor outside of english, however.
