Anybody know why there's such a big difference?

    Catholics are taught the ten commandments and have some general idea of caring for others .

    Where as evangelicals are told they can do what ever they want and as long as they say they are Christian they will get into heaven. 🤷

    American Catholics are basically evangelicals

    Could also do with the fact that the Catholic Church actually converted indigenous people. Where as evangelicas just seem to be European colonizing descendents.

    It's probably the latter

      I'd like to point out that's modern US Evangelicals as a whole. Plenty of other Protestants have a concerningly complete command of the bible (Sola Scriptura will do that) and The Quakers and Diggers and many others have been staunch champions of the working classes.
