The other day, some colleagues were talking about religion, and someone said they were protestant. Since I'm in Germany, I inquired to them whether they were Lutheran:
"I don't know, I'm protestant".
Then I realized that in U.S. movies people always describe themselves as protestants, but not what kind. A quick google showed that the U.S. has quite the diversity of denominations. Is knowing about the diversity of christian denominations a nerd thing?
@Jey_snow Not really, it’s simple awareness or general knowledge that in the realm of God/Jesus there are Catholics and those not Catholic- Lutheran, Presbyterian, Babptist, etc. As far as people in Germany who describe themselves as protestant, I don’t know other than they are saying they are not Catholic? Or maybe they don’t want to divulge more than that. 🤔
@Huntn00 interesting, that last part sounds very German (Datenschutz). Thanks for the insight :)
