The Universal Church of the LORD Almighty
YHWH-GOD the Father-ALLAH can will each human being to be Christ-like instantly¹. The Kingdom of God is within us. Luke 17.21. The LORD desires all of us to transform our Spaceship Earth to the Garden of Eden.
There is no second coming of a messiah and/or savior, redeemer….
Even the hairs of your head are counted². Matthew 10.30.
We created you. We know the promptings of your soul, and are closer to you than your jugular vein³. Qur’an 50.16 .
The LORD is Omnipotent¹, Omniscient², and Omnipresent³.

I am not saying you are wrong, but first off – you seem to make some very broad statements about “Christianities” and I am NEVER a fan of things like that…
You defined people’s approach to their religion as a sort of geographical mind set? OK – but that seems to me that you are stating the obvious – at least it seems obvious to me, I mean I wouldn’t expect someone in the middle of the USA to have a Mexican Jesus statue, but hey, you never know… People approach their religion from what they know and what they experience around them, I would think… is that wrong of them?
And as far as adapting religion… adapt how, exactly? I keep think of the Hassidic I would see in Brooklyn… how are they adapting their religion?
Lastly… and excuse me, for I am not a very smart person… but I missed your definition of “religion”
