Christianity doesn't strike me as especially white. Not in the way that other religions strike me as being not-white. I can name some excellent musicians who are white muslims, but it's still very unusual. In contrast, Christianity is very popular among very many races. Like, if you're from south america, mexico, central or southern africa, china, russia, the philippines, and many other places too, you're very likely christian. I suppose I don't encounter many indian or arabic christians, but they aren't terribly rare either.
Saying a part of white American culture doesn’t mean those parts only apply to that culture. It’s the most popular religion and seeps into many parts of the state.
Oh boy. I totally skipped over the white part lol.
I agree with you. I guess some of what I said will hold true for white Americans, but may be more generically Southern than white
