What do other christian sects think of protestants?

Question

In my experience they're pretty uptight, no?

Answer 1

Protestant = "A commonly given definition is merely 'any Christian denomination which is not Roman Catholic or Orthodox Christian.' . . . The term 'Protestant' now represents a diverse range of perspectives, denominations, individuals, and related organizations, all typically focused on a worship of Jesus and a deference to the New Testament over the Old."

The "Holy Rollers" who "cast out demons" are protestants.
The Southern Baptists who think all drinking & dancing is sinful, are protestants.
The Disciples of Christ who have homosexual clergy are protestants.
And there are many, MANY other variations of protestants.

Some are uptight - some are not. Even within a particular religions, some are uptight & some are not. My father was a Church of Christ preacher yet he was not what I'd call "uptight" but many of the people he preached to were.

I think you are thinking of the "fundamentalist." Many, but not all, of them are "uptight."

Careful about the overgeneralizations there.
