They all suck in different ways. But I actually think the Catholics are more chill in general, the fucked up shit their bishops get up to notwithstanding, the Catholic Church has mostly just stayed in the background since the early 20th century. Letting the world do its thing while occasionally calling something or another sinful (and only their faithful listening).

Contrasting with the influence Protestantism has in like. All of US Conservative Ideology, which trickles outwards to conservatives EVERYWHERE.

They may not have a pope to embody the face of their ideology (though Trump is in the process of becoming that, watch this space), but it is a consistent ideology, and its god is wealth, and poverty and deviance the greatest sins.
