It does not matter where the religion started, who started the religion or even how it was started. What matters is where the religion went after it was started. It matters what has become of the religion, where it has gone and who is following the religion. Most religions do not stay in the same place as their origin. Religions have migrated across cities, states, and countries. Just as people migrate, religion moves along with the migration.
Most every religion has an origin other than the United States. If religions have not been started here then how do we have so many different religion? We have the various religions because as people moved they not only have taken their families and belongings they have also taken their beliefs, their foundations and their morals. As the families moved and migrated from place to place, from town to town and town they would talk about their religion to others that believed as they did and also to those that did not. Each time they spoke to someone then went on their separate ways the religion grew. This is the way the religions grew and migrated across the countries.
Some people believe that all religions come from one origin. These same people believe that most every religion merged from one. As the immigrants migrated and talked of their religion the religion "morphed" and changed. They believe people changed the religion to suit their needs and wants. If a person wanted a structured organized God then they changed God to be fierce. Is this really such a far fetched idea? Don't most religions have some overlap? If there is overlap then the possibility is there that most religions stem from one another.
