    I live in a highly religious part of the country. 79% of the state is some form of christian.

    I have had several conversations with people here who do not comprehend that catholics are christian. In fact I even had an argument about it here on Lemmy a while back. I wonder if someone will pop out again to try to tell me that catholics aren’t christians.

      You may already know this, but is commonly taught by evangelical fundy Protestants that Catholicism isn’t Christianity. It is considered a polytheistic cult due to the praying to and veneration of saints. By these group’s definition: Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not Christians.

      Me? I think they all suck, but, I was raised by the fundies.

        to be fair: the majority of each one of those branches also don’t consider any of the others to be christian as well.

      That’s such lunacy. Just because your denomination is different doesn’t mean it has a monopoly on the religion. Catholics have that same vibe to me, just not as weird about it.
