Religion in America — humorous demographics

A Brief Guide to Religious Denominations in America (author unknown):

A Baptist is a man who got saved.

A Methodist is a Baptist who got shoes.

A Congregationalist is a Methodist who moved to town.

A Presbyterian is a Congregationalist who got rich.

An Episcopalian is a Presbyterian who ran for public office.

(First told to me by now-retired professor of history, Gordon Ross of Rockford University.)
