Or, perhaps, the US isn't the center of the world and other countries aren't "imitating patterns", this is just also happening there for mostly the same reasons.
It isn't the center of the world, I agree. However, pentecostalism and televangelism, especially televangelism, originate in America, and are mostly American practices. Evangelical churches like sending missions to "help poor people" in "third world countries", which involves quite a bit of preaching. It isn't a stretch to assume that the televangelists in Brazil were strongly influenced by the religious movements of the US. In fact, the Brazilian user I was replying to SPECIFICALLY mentioned the US. The United States is not the center of the world, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum either.
