Baptist BaptistPerson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptist Baptists The collection of people who adhere to a faith in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjkH5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ProtestantReligion</a>. The basic tenet of Protestantism is the non-mandatory role of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVrx15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Priest</a> as an intercessionary between a believer and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjqxpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GodOfAbrahamIsaacAndJacob</a>, or between a believer and the proper interpretation of the holy texts (such as the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwOG0IJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Bible</a>). As a divergence from <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjnvpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Catholicism</a>, Protestants generally believe in a school of Christianity that differs in some key respects. Among the chief differences are: <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwFAJYpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CatholicPerson</a> shows more devotion to <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQBk5pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Mary_MotherOfJesus</a>, and has a belief in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwHpgIpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Transubstantiation</a> -- the process whereby bread is turned into the body of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv3n0p5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">JesusChrist</a>). Some subclasses of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2dkzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ProtestantPerson</a> view the latter as being of symbolic import only (e.g., <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjpzZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AnglicanReligion</a>), while followers of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjNmpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LutheranReligion</a> school believe in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwHpgIpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Transubstantiation</a> as a transformation, but deny the necessary role of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVrx15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Priest</a> as an agent of this transformation. ProtestantPerson Protestant Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString PersonTypeByReligion A collection of collections. This collection exists to make it easier to refer to that dimension or facet of a person's behavior, attitudes, and beliefs (culture) which derives from, or is influenced by, the person's overarching `religious' beliefs, practices, and affiliations. Note that `religion' and `religious' are understood here in a rather broad sense. Many practicing Catholics do not believe in the Catholic Church's official teachings regarding Christian history or the significance of Jesus; many people who call themselves Jews do not observe any of Judaism's rituals. But it is still useful to distinguish a `religious' mode of belief, activity, and group belonging, and to categorize people using these criteria. (Jewishness is a notable special case, where the term may designate both an ethnic, kinship-based, primordial sense of identity and belonging, AND a set of religious beliefs and practices). type of person classified by religion Baptist BaptistPerson Baptist BaptistPerson Baptist BaptistPerson
