America as it exists today makes more sense as an explicitly ANTI-CHRISTIAN Country-- in the sense that Evangelicalism so warped from Capital for so long has basically become Satan worship-- it's a continual theme in American literature-- that the God of Capital is what America worships as God, & that this God is actually Satan, & that America is an Esoterically Satanist empire. You could line this up in Revelation as the "Beast with Two Horns" who becomes just like the "Dragon" of Papal Rome. This is what the Adventists in America believed, by the way...

@Logo_Daedalus This feels very close to my understanding of the afterlife in islam, opposed to commercial christianity one might have been exposed to growing up in the baptist south as i did.

And the lamb-like horns, emblems of innocence and gentleness, well represent the character of our government, as expressed in its two fundamental principles, Republicanism and Protestantism."—Spirit of Prophecy, v01. 4, P. 277.
"'And he had two horns like a lamb.' The lamb-like horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as 'coming up' in 1798." —The Great Controversy, p. 441.

Abolitionist Radical Christian Evangelicals believed that they actually were being forced by law to sin by not helping free their brothers from slavery-- this they understood to be evidence that America was explicitly *anti-christian*-- many christians understand this in America-- that America is "the Lesser Satan" to the "Great Satan" of Rome.

Melville's whole corpus is dealing with this understanding-- read The Confidence Man-- it's about the Spirit of the Antichrist on a gambling cruise down the Mississippi on April fools Day.

Why is this?
Because we never abandoned Paganism culturally.
William Blake was serious when he wrote this.
The stolen and perverted writings of Homer and Ovid, of Plato and Cicero, which all men ought to contemn, are set up by artifice against the Sublime of the Bible; but when the New Age is at leisure to pronounce, all will be set right, and those grand works of the more ancient, and consciously and professedly Inspired men will hold their proper rank, and the Daughters of Memory shall become the Daughters of Inspiration. Shakspeare and Milton were both curb’d by the general malady and infection from the silly Greek and Latin slaves of the sword.
Rouse up, O Young Men of the New Age! Set your foreheads against the ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the Camp, the Court, and the University, who would, if they could, for ever depress mental, and prolong corporeal war. Painters! on you I call. Sculptors! Architects! suffer not the fashionable fools to depress your powers by the prices they pretend to give for contemptible works, or the expensive advertising boasts that they make of such works: believe Christ and His Apostles that there is a class of men whose whole delight is in destroying. We do not want either Greek or Roman models if we are but just and true to our own Imaginations, those Worlds of Eternity in which we shall live for ever, in Jesus our Lord.
