Religious in the U.S.: Ann Douglas' book "The Feminization of American Culture"
From Ann Douglas' The Feminization of American Culture (1977)
The everyday Protestant of 1800 subscribed to a rather complicated and rigidly defined body of dogma; attendance at a certain church had a markedly theological function. By 1875, American Protestants were much more likely to define their faith in terms of family morals, civic responsibility, and above all, in terms of the social function of churchgoing. The actual creed was usually a liberal, even a sentimental one for which [Jonathan] Edwards and his contemporaries [1700-1750] would have felt scorn and horror. |

Liberals and Protestants are the same thing, they come from the same people, liberalism is fanatical Puritanism made secular, the biggest differences between the two are merely their views regarding sex and what god they worship, I suppose one could say modern liberals worship themselves.

I don't believe, impersonally or personally, that Baptists are human beings. However, I generally keep that view to myself, and don't express it publicly more than three or four hundred times a year. Scienticians will note that approximates daily, but they DONT KNOW ME. THEY DONT WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT. THEY AINT PAYING MAH BILLS. And i'm telling you that 3-400x exhibits a truly impressive reserve, nigh unto self control.

I recall a line from the movie A River Runs Through It:
'Methodist are Baptist who can read.'
