No, Evangelical Christians with their need to "spread the word" are the worst. The Southern Baptists are a close second.

They are a militant bunch. I went to a Southern Baptist wedding last spring and they held the reception in the fellowship hall of the church - no booze (understandable) and no dancing. They couldn't even do the couple's first dance or the father/daughter dance. How about celebrating one of life's milestones?!?!?! Come on!

I couldn't choose. But I know which one began the start of a looooong pre-holocaust Jew-hatred.
"For, as all can see, God's wrath over them is so great that gentle mercy will only make them worse and worse, and harshness little better. So away with them at all costs."
Martin Luther - the 16th-century former Roman Catholic monk who launched the Protestant Reformation.
The pamphlet “On the Jews and their Lies,” written by Martin Luther in 1542, used extremely violent language. It called on Christians to set synagogues on fire, to destroy Jewish houses, and to put Jews in stables, and it advised rulers to banish Jews from their countries. Luther’s writings had a significant influence on German Protestant theologians and also contributed to a climate of opinion that condoned or approved persecution of Jews.

I do not think that they are the best. Though there have been sects of Christianity in the past that have outright killed entire peoples, so I think they rank a bit lower than Southern Baptists.

Most likely, but the Westboro Baptists definitely give 'em a run for their money.

They're up there. What scares me even more is that 3 of the Republican presidential candidates are Southern Baptists.

They did come to exist when Baptists who disagree with other Baptists over slavery (they were for it) made their own church. Southern Baptists come from pro-slavery people.
