There seem to be a lot of fundamentalist protestants on FR who have a very narrow world view. They live in regions that are 90% protestant, and probably haven't encountered many non-protestants in their everyday lives. When they encounter non-protestants on the Internet they don't see them as real Christians, but probably weird cults.
It would probably shock them to learn that fundamentalist Protestants are actually the smallest of the three major types of Christians in the world, after Catholics and Orthodox (both of which predate protestantism by 1500+ years)
Part of the reason they ignore Orthodox Christians is that the orthodox are only 3.5% of Christians in the U.S., though worldwide there are least 300 million orthodox, and Eastern Orthodoxy is the second largest Christian communion in the world.
What a crock of BS.
This neighborhood is not majority Christian. We have some Orthodox here, and Copts, and several kinds of Moslems, and RCs, Presbyterians, Methodists (all from Korea), and so on.
Still, the combined Hindu/Buddhist/Shinto/etc. crowd outnumbers any other group.
I'd like to take back that word "fundamentalist" and its associated word "fundamental" from the folks who appropriated it in the early 20th century, and their Leftwingtard gaggle-gang who persist in maintaining those two words may apply ONLY to those who sided against Scopes in the "Monkey Trial".
Good grief guys, that was a long time ago, and everybody involved in it is dead now.
Time for "fundamental" and "fundamentalism" in religion be returned to their proper place.
BTW, I've noticed the Leftwingtards and their running dog lackeys in the MSM have no trouble using "fundamentalist" with "Moslem" to mean someone who's simply a believer in what their prophet told them to do. The MSM, and RCs, seem to have difficulty in accepting the same terms with respect to the Pope who's simply a Christian believer in what Jesus told his followers to do, and for his Apostles to preach.
These are good words too valuable to be wasted on a single topic.

It would probably shock you to learn that Protestants vastly outnumber the Orthodox globally, Pentecostals alone might already outnumber the Orthodox.
America started Protestant, is still mostly Protestant and the very foreign Orthodox never caught on among the vibrant, diverse, religious American people, the actual percentage of Orthodox in the United States is only .06% , almost non existent and they don’t seem to be going anywhere in new places in the world like Africa and Latin America.
Orthodox seems closer to 225 million than 300 million world wide, with Protestants being much larger and growing rapidly in diverse corners of the world from Africa to Latin America, and Orthodox is largely limited to old closed societies, as examples. Eastern Orthodoxy is the largest single religious faith in Belarus (85%), Bulgaria (83%), Macedonia (65%), Cyprus (80%), Georgia (89%), Greece (98%), Moldova (98%), Montenegro (74%), Romania (87%), Serbia (84%), Russia (80%), and Ukraine (80%). The number of Eastern Orthodox adherents represents about 36% of the population in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Albania the adherents number around 25% out of a 40% Christian population, the other being Roman Catholic. As the dominant religion in northern Kazakhstan, it represents 40% of Kazakhstan, and 4% of Lithuania, 9% of Latvia.
I don’t know the religious makeup of FR but I don’t agree with your attempts to portray a lot of them as some kind of backwards Protestants that live in isolated enclaves of religious ignorance where the knuckle dragging Methodists and Episcopalians and Southern Baptists, and Presbyterians all share a “very narrow world view”.
