That’s a good way of putting it. Honestly, Christianity is incompatible with the “family / country” part. Christians are supposed to sell everything they own and help the poor, not hoard it for their own. And “country?” Jesus couldn’t give a shit for countries.
Yeah, my impression is that "country" was more of an Old Testament thing. Jesus' experience of "country" ended poorly, on a hill, and then they wrote the New Testament about him. At least in the Old Testament you have the Hebrew nation sticking up/together for themselves, even as other countries make them miserable.
As for Christianity in the US today, it's like being in the soda and chips aisle of a grocery store: what brand are we talking about? Most of them are bad for you, but oh so appealing.
