Honestly, I didn’t feel any insight from the article. As far as I can see, the point was that they found Americans who admitted to having been duped, and since they didn’t also profile Britains who had been duped, clearly the American system is backwards.

Articles in the 1980s about televangelists at least mentioned the use of television. Articles about nondenominational megachurches make some effort to show that they’re different from other large churches. Articles about the Holy See can discuss the history of when the Vatican became an official country (more recently than I thought). This article amounts to “religious Americans are idiots.”
