Question

What did islamic fundamentalism in the middle east and evangelical christianity in the united states have in common at the beginning of the twenty-first century?

Answer 1

Both attracted followers partly because of the global spread of mass entertainment

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest religion in the US is Christianity, about 78.4% of the population is Christian. Traditionally most Americans are Protestant 51% of the population. Christianity was introduced during the period of European colonization and is still a very influential religion that attracts many believers. Christianity in the United States attracted followers in part because of the global spread of mass entertainment, which influenced people and claimed that Christianity was the right religion to follow.

On the other hand, in the last two decades, Islamism has been strengthening. The faithful to this religion propose the interaction between the religious precepts of Islam and those of the state. Similar to US Christianity, Islam attracted followers in part because of the global spread of mass entertainment, where it promoted a different alternative to known religions and attracted people through its philosophy.
