This mainline Protestant happens to agree with him. My grandmother walked away from her lifelong Methodist church when the pastor tossed the bible on the floor during a sermon while declaring it irrelevant in today’s world.

Sorry, but there are many Mainline Protestant churches that have not apostated away from Christ and the Bible.

This was a dumb choice on Santorum's part because:

1. It's only partially true
2. The same point can be made about Catholics
3. All it does is divide his base and cause consternation for conservative Protestants.

Really, really STUPID move on his part.

The mainline churches are the “Seven Sisters” of the traditional Protestant establishment:

American Baptist Churches USA,

Christian Church-Disciples of Christ,

The Episcopal Church,

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,

The Presbyterian Church USA,

United Church of Christ

The United Methodist Church

Those churches were the pillars of establishment Protestantism. However, in the past 50 years they have rejected orthodox Christianity and replaced it with relativistic neo-pagan philosophy with a thin veneer of “Christianity” that questions the divinity of Christ.

Sorry, but there are many Mainline Protestant churches that have not apostated away from Christ and the Bible.

Individual congregations, maybe; but not the national mainline organizations that siphon off the local donations to support heresies and liberation-theological events.
