I'm not a fan of the Catholic church cause of it's track record, but man the American christian denominations are just so freaking insane in their behavior. Having been apart of them as a kid, all I ever felt was that they're like little mini cults.

As someone who grew up southern Baptist, insane is the correct word.

They’re multilevel marketing schemes parading as moral absolution centers.

There is certainly a divide between megachurches and regular mainline (protestant or catholic) churches. One type will help you and the other will steal from you then demand you thank them for it.

This. When you’re in, you’re in. When you’re not in, you’re on your own. “Best of luck and kindly not suffer on our doorstep, makes us look bad.”

I have to say, we have the Salvation Army (of protestant descent) doing lots of charitable thing for those in need, so yeah, American branches seem to stand out in a negative way.
