Yes, this is a very strange transformation of Jesus and the Christian religion - and then maybe not, when one considers the fact of America being a totally Capitalist country: As everybody else, Jesus is to bow to the mighty $$$, even though he never spoke for the money-worshippers of his time.

No, it's sort of being shovelled under the carpet, as it's supposed to vaporize and just disappear. It's the same with the American "Santa": One day you're to stop believing in this nice, old man bringing presents, and instead starting to look at "that kind of men" with suspicion. And, by the way, it's called "growing up" as is the belief in the benefits of e.g. this sadly enough quite common robbery-system:
