My family in the Caribbean were always Catholic. Then my cousin's son turned Evangelical and so did she. I'm sure my aunt is turning in her grave. I wonder if it is MacArthur? 

I can't say for sure but probably not. Evangelicalism is popular here. Naturally because we are former colonies and mostly black (and because abolitionists and some rebellions were organized in the church)  our evangelicalism looks quite different.

 What it looks like depends on the denomination, age of the church if they are supported by certain US groups. Though I've noticed that new churches influenced and/or funded by conservative white American missionaries are gaining influence. And even when that isn't the case, the talking points can seep in.

Fun fact: One of the catalysts for my studying fundie-culture is reading a lesson about courtship and "not giving away pieces of your heart" in my Sunday school book. I wondered why Gothard talking-points were being repeated in a church were women are pastors/deacons, we have numerous social programs like a free pharmacy and we have a large bash celebrating slave rebellions and emancipation every year. 

Of course, I'm simplifying an extremely complicated and vast topic. The breakdown of denomination changes drastically depending on island and demographic. For example, in my country upperclass people tend to be Catholic & Anglican (and less black) and working class people tend to be Pentecostal, SDA and Protestant (and more black).

This was very interesting to learn about. I appreciate it.

How to tell you spend a lot of time at FJ: I was reading an article about Ginger (wife of pervert) Gaetz and I kept thinking how weird her first name looked.
