    Yeah a lot of u.s Christians don’t consider Catholics as Christians but more like a Jew or Muslim. No joke.

    Catholics are not real Christians because they worship Mary and saints.

    That’s what Ive heard repeated by baptists.

      I’m not Christian (or religious), but I wouldn’t classify the US evangelicals as Christians. Maybe some kind of neo Christians or something, but they’ve drifted very far from the concepts of that religion.

      As for Mormons, I don’t even know what they are, some kind of wacky fan fiction that isn’t canon by anyone’s measure, so they’re definitely in their own category.

      Yeah I got that from time to time growing up. And as mentioned elsewhere, treating Catholics as not really American. Also got called a devil worshipper about it sometimes.

      I left the church over several fundamental issues including women’s rights and queer rights, but I’m still partial to it even though I’m pagan these days. I still can’t fucking stand Baptists.

        Baptist are kind of the worst Christian group in my experience. I grew up Baptist. It’s all hate. It’s all denying other people things. Saying anything they dont like is against Jesus.

        Music. Clothes. Wrong haircut.
        All banned.

        Oh and it’s super racist. The white side is anyway.
