Dallas-Religion?

Question

If a person's last name is Dallas, what would be their religion? Just wondering.

I thought you can tell someone's religion by their last name.

Answer 1

i can only assume it would be baptist

Answer 2

There was a time before the world became fully "global" when a last name and area of origin were all that was needed to know, Ask any guy withthe last name of Schwartz, or Stanatucci! But these days a litle white girl in Hoboken can get on the internet and fall in love with the teaching of Islam and be directed to a local mosque.
This one is funny, My husband is Mexican, I'm of Irish descent, he was raised catholic, I was raised Baptist, our last name is Meyers and we are Jehovah's Witnesses.
I love to tease him and say he's the worlds only Mexican Jew.
What is important is that after the Jewish nation rejected Christ Jesus as the messiah, Jehovah opened the promise of Life Everlasting in a Paradise Earth to all nationalities, and creeds.
*** Rbi8 Acts 10:34-35 ***

34 At this Peter opened his mouth and said: “For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, 35 but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

Answer 3

Last names have nothing to do with religion. It's all in the heart. A person's religion is a choice they make, not part of their name.

Answer 4

I would think that Dallas is one of the Chrisianity family religion. One who has that last name now a days, you cant say what their religion is now. People change/convert to other religions all over the world.
My maiden name's religion origin is Catholic (from Scotland).

Answer 5

While oftentimes you can't tell a persons religion by their name, you can at times know what it is by where they live. Especially in Texas. Most are Baptist, Southern Baptists, or equally Conservative religion. That is if they even have one. Remember Houston is in the Bible Belt. They don't call it that for nothing. Most are conservative Republicans to. Also there are always exceptions to the rule.
I think I wandered a bit from your ?. Sorry.
My final answer is no you can't.

Peace

Answer 6

no you can't tell a person's religion by their last name (nor ever has that been so).
a hundred years ago you could tell what part of the world a person came from by their surname but not anymore because some change their names.

Answer 7

It would be an unfair assumption on any body's part to relate a last name with any particular religion. I think your question should have been aimed at the genealogy of the last name, in order to get a more appropriate answer. For example:

My ancestral name originated in Ireland - so more than likely my ancestors would have been either Catholic or Protestant.

Answer 8

Good question.

First, most Christians I know would say that Hitler and the Nazis were not athiests. Hitler was some sort of nominal Christian much of the time, and certainly a mono-theist in general at other times. As for his henchmen, who knows?

I guess its natural to think that someone so evil could not have believed in God. But that is so naive! Evil people who do evil things might still believe in God.

Satan himself certainly recognized the existance of God.

Answer 9

How can you tell someone's religion from their last name?

Answer 10

Okay. My name is Gmerek. What religion would that be?

Answer 11

Well, honey, i am not sure where you re from, around here, we don't look at last names for a religious reference, that would not only be racist, but also kind of stupid. that is the same as saying that you can tell what color someone's hair is just by looking at their shoe size.
