Protestants

Protestants were in the majority.

Are Protestants tired of the Bible?

Protestants don't venerate saints.

To take part in religious ceremonies is an attack against the common morality. Protestants must be dealt with more severely than Catholics and the liberal more severely than the conservative. The closer Christianity is to science, the more criminal it is. A philosopher is therefore the very worst of criminals.

Jews don't recognise Jesus. Protestants don't recognise the pope. Baptists don't recognise each other in a wine store.

And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last!

Unlike most Protestants, Seventh-day Adventists do not believe in the immortality of the soul and eternal hell fire.

They're protestants.

From Roman Catholicism, my father, who first converted, converted my mother, my grandmother, and my cousin to Baptist Protestants. I was in high school; I believed in science and did not convert. My little brother started in the kiddy section of the Protestant church. Such is why he is different from me and my elder brother who both had nominal Catholicism for at least a decade. My elder brother, who also believed in science, stayed away from the religious strife that my family was having. I went to Protestant church with my parents, but felt alien in there. Such is my confession. Statuettes of Buddha from my Philippine and Canadian childhood attracted me to Buddhism. My interest in biology was my natural inclination towards Animism since childhood.

From Roman Catholicism in the Philippines, both my parents in North America converted to Baptist Protestants, recruited by already converted Filipinos. They went to Baptist churches for years, until later years, in Pentecostal church, because there was more music.
