Why many conservative "Christians" want to say that American values are equal to Christianity, when Jesus said that His Kingdom is not of this world?

well that is easy .. militant ATHEISM WOULD TURN AMERICAN INTO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY IN A MATTER OF DAYS IF ALLOWED TO. taking away rights and privileges which allow us even a hint of freedom from your neighbor and from abusive governments and their agencies if need be.
WHY BECAUSE of the fact that true FREEDOM ISN'T CONTROLLABLE.
A WEAK AND SCARED ( NOT INDEPENDENT ) PEOPLE and nations or tribes AND THEIR CHILDREN are then VULNERABLE TO EVERY SORT OF PREDITOR AND PEOPLE IN THOSE COUNTRIES ARE USABLE.
( aka natives /in boarding schools etc ) freedom from militants in governments is what is " Christian"
Because God himself came up with the concept of choice and Freedom to sin or to not sin and to reap accordingly. There is a reason militant Atheism hate those concepts of personal responsibility.
and second of all His kingdom is ( but also once was ) in the hearts of his people.. but that day is closing to it's end and will come to a final conclusion also any day as Rev and 3/4 of the old testament's minor prophets and all the Book Enoch proves and reveals it will come to earth one day .

A religion, belief or teaching based on FEAR is worthless and will never last.

While America was founded on Judaeo-Christian values,
Christianity and "American Values" are in no way equal.

Much like saying that a microwave oven is based on the
same principles as the WW2 "Home Station" radar system.
It is, but to say they are the same is ridiculous.

What has been revealed by science about fear is that it is a very temporary motivator. Placing a gun in someone's mouth and asking for their money will likely be effective, but telling them to go home and get the money and bring it back will not be. As a species, we do NOT like to experience actual fear and will reject it at the very first opportunity.

Because it's a simple fact that a good number of the founding fathers were Christians. And even today, something like 70% of Americans claim to be Christians.
