That shit is rampant among American evangelicals as well. Just Calvinism and puritanism at their worst
Huh, maybe it's all Christians then... I don't know I started to get the feeling like I wanted to explore more about faith (I'm a permanently wavering agnostic) and started reading the New Testament. And very early on in Matthew Jesus says something along the lines of don't pray in front of all the others in the temple to show off how holy you are but do it in private. And that line of thinking inevitably leads to questioning the need for a church
Of course it was St Paul and not Jesus who formalised things a bit more.
