So, a long time ago, in Christian lands, the Catholic church was all-powerful. Then people started to print the Bible and read it for themselves, instead of depending on interpretations from their priests and churches.
So, there was the Reformation, and Protestantism was born.
Now, it seems that many Protestant churches have become institutionalized and have created their own rigid belief systems. I'm thinking in particular of the fundamentalist American Baptists.
It seems that with this relatively new fanaticism, that people are again leaving their traditional churches and being ostracized for doing so.
