I mean, it is the same for everyone, we all know what happens when a religion you’re not part of takes control. Religious people are simply hypocritical about it, but they’re sort of justified. The Catholics took over the USA due to immigration and it worried the protestants back then, it could very well happen with another religion.
In my opinion the comparison to anti catholic sentiment is pretty apt. “Yeah it’s not racism. we’re just worried that they have an allegiance to a foreign pope before their own country and also Irish and Italians don’t count as white. But yeah no racism here”

The shift from a Protestant majority to a more diverse religious landscape, including Catholicism, began in the mid-19th century.
Protestants are Christian. Did you mean Catholics?
Yes, good catch!

I think the OP is wrong and dumb.
