American Christians. Never heard anyone else use the term rapture.
The article mentions the preacher who started this rapture excitement is from South Africa
I mean that really all depends on the religion that they are. The rapture is used in different context for different religions and it's not always called the same thing. However the word rapture is typically prevalent among sects such as Southern Baptist and any of the other evangelical faith. But it's not typically found among many of the base Lutheran religions and the exact words as well as Catholicism.
In the UK, some Christians have used the term "Rapture" to just refer to the second coming. I've heard people use the term and not even know Rapture Theology (where Christians just disappear) to be a thing.
And now guess why the billionaires behave like they do.
