Growing up in west Texas, I talked to one uber-Baptist who for some unfathomable reason believed that the Catholics "worship Mary", therefore they don't follow the "there is only one God" rule and therefore aren't Christian.
Yeah. The Southern Baptist sect was literally founded on the belief that chattel slavery was a good and "godly" thing, it doesn't get better from there. A woman having any deference is pretty offensive to them (the woman's "place" being purely in service of the patriarch of the family, whether husband or father). Mary being venerated as a saint is pure anathema.
