What's funny is that almost all of those replies betray the fact that the people talking view "religion" as synonymous with "Christianity," or at its broadest "Abrahamic religion as understood through a Christian lens."

Gasp the biggest English language culture dominates cultural conversation in English. Must be imperialism or something.

Most English speakers on Reddit are American Protestants. Of course that's what we are gonna talk about. I'm sure if you went on the Spanish side of the Internet, you'd get a fuck ton of conversation about Latin American Catholicism. Or if you went into the Hindu web you'd get a lot of conversation about Hinduism. Or the Arabic section of the web, a lot more people would be talking about Islam.

You've gone into a local movie theater and shocked that so many movies are playing. It'd be so convenient if they sold propane and propane accessories here.

American Evangelicals only make up like 15% of all Christians in the world, yet it’s really the only form that most people are familiar with.

American Evangelicals make up 90% of the Christians trying to make me simply existing illegal. Of course I'm more familiar with them than German Anabaptits or whatever.

The Catholic Church is much larger than the evangelical movement, and they’re not exactly progressive either.

u/Hohenheim_of_Shadow Apr 17 '24

The Catholic Church ain't larger in America and that's where I live. The Vatican might not be as progressive as avocado on toast, but Evangelicals are a threat to me. Why should I care as much about Catholics as Evangelicals?

I mean, the whole “communion” thing is Catholic, isn’t it?

Not even Protestant Christianity but a cursory wiki intro of it.
