No, Protestantism is what created America, and made it possible.
Evangelical Protestantism is what holds it together, and keeps it going.
As a supposed conservative, you should have some awareness of voting and religion.
That is true that Protestantism created America and it continues to be a largely positive force today, on the strength of it being a form of Christianity.
However, if presents a flawed picture of man and his freedom. It, for example, believes that a profession of faith, apart from the daily works in the company of God toward greater acceptance of Divine Grace, is sufficient to make man free. This is manifestly not true: man is in a state of struggle which necessitates, in order for him to be free, to become free from various passions such that surround the man economic and the man sexual. The result is the formal political freedom where virtuous choice is rarely made, and in fact, the prevailing political philosophy, contaminated by Calvinism, teaches that freedom definitionally includes the practice of vice. Very quickly such formal freedom is bracketed by the nanny state, which then begins to grow a dependent political client class of men incapable of freedom: the Romney’s 47 percent.
Another defect of Protestantism is the legalistic notion of the Bible combined with populist anti-clericalism, and divorced from the historical Christianity. If you are interested I will elaborate on that in my next post.
There is something good in Protestantism, simple because Protestantism still offers, howbeit meekly, Christ as a model. But where one compares Protestantism with Catholicism, one finds the distinctives of Protestantism big on slogans but short on actually nurturing free men.
