I think it depends on the church those American abominations where they have thousands of people there and it's more like a concert are fucked up
yeah the local mainline protestant churches are actually not only helpful to the poor but allies with local organizing. under the dicprole it'd probably be more productive to expropriate evangelical churches and give them to mainline protestants than it would be to outright ban protestantism.
protestantism isn't really a singular movement after all all you have to do to be protestant is offshoot from Catholicism
I think a rule that if a church is over 100 people you should split it into 2 churches would help
megachurches are obscene but it's worth noting that they are not how the median churchgoing american christian worships, at least in the parts of the country i've lived. the more usual kind of church has its own problems of course, but the thing where you're essentially watching a sporting event or a stadium rock concert is the exception.
