      You’ve gone way too far spamming your labels on me and my posts. I’m not a damn bot! The top mods know me. It seems difficult for people to imagine that I’m just really engaged.

    Only 29 not in some sky-daddy-cult? That is sad.

    It’s 2026 now and people still get involved with cults, instead of just believing what they want at home. For themselves. With noone telling them what they’re allowed to think and do.

      I just discovered why the Baptists are not listed separately:
      They are part of the sub-confessions that make up the Evangelicals, if I understood that correctly.

      Are you from the US?
      When reading about the baptists in the German Wikipedia, I stumbled upon this (auto-translated):

      The Baptists of the South saw it very differently. Although both the blacks and the whites were predominantly Baptists, the churches were almost consistently racially separated until the 1960s, in part they still are.

      Can you confirm? Is this true?

        It is true. Pretty much everything in the south was racially segregated until they were forced to stop by the federal government. It is a big topic, basically after the end of slavery white southerners would not allow black Americans to use the same facilities as them. Schools, churches, restaurants, even drinking fountains. It was/is a problem all across the country but very extreme in the ex-confederate states. Here is the wiki for the US civil rights movement, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_rights_movement . They are no longer segregated as a matter of law but the effects of slavery and Jim Crow still have their mark on our society. Racism in general is an ongoing and systemic issue.
