"In my opinion, Christianity in America (a very broad brush here) is wrong in many fundamental ways. This is the American view of Christianity I am talking about, manipulated for mass consumption, just another product in the jungle of enterprises in the economic, intellectual, spiritual marketplace. Some buy it, others don't, and in all cases, it is just a product to be exported into other countries. It is just like Burger King and Coca-Cola T-shirts."

Your argument is beginning to take form, but wouldn't it be better if you took one denomination at a time (or the largest denominations) rather than using such a "broad brush?" While generalities can be useful to some extent, I think that you lose validity by employing generalities in this instance.
