Christianity teaches creationism as the only truth, so I'm going to assume that's the "normal" view. Either you believe in creationist bullshit or you're not a christian

You’re combining a no-true-scottsman fallacy with a strawman argument. I.E. “either you believe this easily debunked thing or you aren’t a real Christian”.

That’s not a valid argument.

Going further; it looks like your conclusion was completely backwards. I don’t know what percentage of people who consider themselves Christian are also Creationists, but there is evidence that it is a minority rather than the majority.

For example, a poll taken in the U.S. showed that for most Christian denominations, most of their members believed in evolution: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_of_evolution_by_religious_groups

Creationism seems to be most prevalent in the U.S., so I would expect the overall numbers to be even more tilted towards belief in evolution.

Does American christians not read bible?

Not all Christians are biblical literalists. It's not uncommon to treat early Genesis as metaphors containing a general truth but given to people who wouldn't really have the understanding or language to really get the whole "you share a common ancestor with those trees" thing
