It’s common knowledge that the Catholic Church is the largest “denomination” in the world and in America.

You are wrong yet again.

Protestants have always outnumbered Roman Catholic in this country by more than a two to one margin. But recently even the Protestant denomination of "Evangelicals" has grown larger than the number of Roman Catholics in this country - 26% to 24%...
