Probably. Church's and families are "authority" and have a "hierarchy". Respect the church, respect your elders. The organizations generally have rules and procedures. You might need to pay to be apart, or there might be other restrictions.
Liberals don't see the state as an authority, but rather, the community. After all, the people you are working with are literally neighbors, locals, friends. This also works with my own experience in dealing with getting state services for my children. The people we deal with come to the house, work with us, and are our equals. They form a community of people.
- yummyfajitas 13y agoAs far as I'm aware, most modern American protestants don't believe in doing whatever your parents or pastor tell you. They view the church as voluntary organizations people can join to help them be better people and get closer to god. Similarly, I don't think most people view family as authority, at least once the kids get a job and move out. Admittedly, I'm culturally an extreme NY liberal, so I have little contact with this side of America. I've never been part of such a community, and could be totally wrong. If so, please tell me - I don't purport to have much first hand knowledge of such communities.
- shanac 13y agoMost Christians in the US are evangelical http://religions.pewforum.org/affiliations http://religions.pewforum.org/affiliations I would also debate that many people calling themselves Protestant who go to mainline churches aren't really christian except in a cultural way. Unlike their Evangelical brothers, they have a tendency to not show up at church http://religions.pewforum.org/comparisons# http://religions.pewforum.org/comparisons#
