I found this article from Live Science, and a group of historians examined the roots of fundementalism. I especially like this quote: "Scholarly consensus over the last decade or so is that most people did not convert to [Protestantism]. They had it forced upon them," Simpson told LiveScience."
Please read it and tell me what you think.

Chris: Why is it garbage? The historians are just pointing out that history shows that without an authoritative clergy to guide scripture interpretation, the laity are left on their own, which results in the myriad of meanings and misinterpretations we have today. They're just stating the natural facts. What's wrong with that? Isn't this what the Church has BEEN trying to tell you?
