I’m thinking Easter, Halloween and Christmas but that’s just me.

"Name something that Protestants do that originated in paganism."

Snake handling, female priests and bishops, same sex marriages, contraception, cross burnings, and nature veneration to name a few.

Well right off the bat; I have seen quite a few prot churches with nativity scenes, seems like idol worship to me. I mean that is what you all accuse us of with our statues right?

There are some, but i am certainly not here to defend all that goes on under that broad umbrella (some of which deny basic Biblical truths) and thus you have the fundamentalist/evangelical movement of 100 years ago (now too broadly defined), and separations prior to that. 1Cor. 11:19

Catholicism also has divisions, and Rome has her sects, but as she treats liberal RCs (the majority) as members in life and in death, in reality the TRCs (traditional) are stuck with them unless they go into schisms.
