The US is a rather religious country that identifies as Judeo-Christian compared to it's peers where church attendance and religious self-identification are headed towards the doldrums.

Ironically, the European countries you might be referring to as peers all seem to have official churches where the government plays a role, whereas the US does not.

Huh? What do you mean? Here in Germany afaik that’s only the church tax which is open for any religion, including Islam .

with certain caveats about how it’s clearly aligned to the structure of the major Christian church organizations.

That is what I mean, that kind of thing would be considered crazy in the US. Or things like the official church in UK or Denmark.

Offering a way to centrally manage tithes for your church is so far away from "official churches" that it’s a lie.
