Yes, the vast majority of American Evangelicals (the largest sect of Christianity in the US) hold to an apocalyptic view. Their attitude is basically "God's going to burn everything down anyway, so why should we care about the earth?" - of course, other branches of Christianity would very much disagree with this assessment of the Book of Revelation, in fact, the Evangelical view is a fairly recent one emerging with Darby in the 1830s or so, and while he didn't find much of an audience for it in his native England or Ireland, he found a very receptive audience for his ideas when he came to America to preach them. If you have a time machine and want to have a big impact on history, stop Darby from arriving in America in the 1860s.
