Your mission, should you accept it, is to find a way for America to have a government similar to the Islamic Republic of Iran, but based in Christianity rather than Islam, with a POD on or after January 1, 1900.
Lazy answer: An American theocracy arises from the ashes of a full scale Cold War nuclear exchange.
Much like how outside Irans government is impossible in a non-shiite country US Protestantism ins't capable of having the entrenched organized clergy to act as an organizing focal point for a government. Iran's situation with its theocracy is pretty unique and hard to replicate elsewhere outside of maybe an independent Holy Mormon Desert or other place where there is a mainly locally powerful organized clergy with heavy political influence.
You missed out the part where they overthrow the US constitution, the preamble to which is actually an answer to Ireton's great question in the Putney Debates and one reason a Iran style (or muslim style) theocratic state is very unlikely in christian society.

^ What about the Methodists? At one point the Methodists were the largest Protestant denomination in the US.
Hmm, wouldn't the US turning into a theocracy make Canada all the more attractive to immigrants, then?![]()
