The problem is religious fanaticism. It doesn't matter what the flavor of your extreme fundamentalist religion, the cyanide Koolaid it represents will kill you. Don't think for a minute that extreme fundamentalist Christians wouldn't do similar stuff.

The yucky sweetness of store-bought commercial bread is a major reason why I bake my own.

Protestantism is just as bad. It's the christianity, not the sect. For that matter nearly all religions are problematic.
