Original American Baptist Faith Struggles In Blue-State Birthplace


Conservative Southern Baptists, born in racism, largest denomination in divided church

The Baptist Church was originally one of the liberal religions that created America. Roger Williams founded the church with the messages of separation of church and state, "soul freedom" and non-racist beliefs. Southern Baptists split off when the denomination ruled slaveholders could not be missionaries. Now the main targets of Southern Baptists are homosexuals, secularists, and liberals.
