I would actually bust a gut if American protestantism actually lead to a re-decentralized interpretation of all the dumb shit catholics have spent the past 2 millenia fighting to centralize.
LETS GO CATHARISM! LETS GO MANICHAEISM! LETS GO OPHITES SECTARIANISM!
Yeah, I get that. It's just silly and wrong. The only reason the Christo-fascists hate Islamic fundamentalism is because :us-foreign-policy: , not because there's much meaningful difference between them. I bet that number would crater if they asked something along the lines of if they were accepting of pagan beliefs.
When a decent chunk of American Evangelicals hear "pagan" they think of catholics. There are some absolutely amazing stories of catholics growing up in the bible belt and being basically cast out from mainstream society. It almost made me feel bad for them, before they started talking about how we need to restart af holy war.
