My opinion? Well, I'd say "Southern Baptist." Why? Probably 'cause a majority of the Ku Klux Klan belong to that denomination. Also, the South was the last place to end slavery. And some Christian Fundamentalists believe that dark skin's a curse by Noah to his son Ham. And so forth. And I'd say that Catholics are more open-minded about diversity compared to Protestants. If you look at the European population, most of those who remained Catholic after the Reformation were predominately a brunet mixed-looking Mediterranean/Alpine type. I don't like stereotyping, but their just my thoughts. You don't like stereotyping? You just stereotyped Protestants. I disagree with your generalization of them. Do you really think that Catholics are more open-minded than liberal and mainline Protestants? Also, all kinds of people belong to conservative Protestant churches. You created strawmen when you mentioned the Ku Klux Klan and slavery. I might as well say that Catholics are less tolerant because they murdered thousands of Christians, Jews and others when they had the power to do so. The question was about the present. Most Baptists do not support hate groups and racism just like most Catholics don't support crusades and inquisitions.

The best way to preserve your race is to have lots of children. Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that what the Catholic church advocates? Whattayaknow.

islam does promote racial mixing among muslims but creates a buffer between non muslims and muslims, the palestinians or iraqis who clearly had no alien admixture 2500 years ago therefore were overrun and raped by the arab tribes of south and the sub saharan strain was carried hundreds of miles north wise. Thats when word semitic lost its use.
I think the best religion around in order to keep a race pure is judaism, conversion is(was) not allowed and not accepted, intermarriage is(was) highly denounced and the religion could bond an excessive minority communities of people worldwide for 2000 years.

There are a lot of interfaith marriages between Christians and Jews, so I don't think that Judaism would be at the top of this particular list. Catholics have a high birth rate, but there are an increasing number of marriages between Anglos and Hipanics. How about Shintoism? You don't see many members of that religion who aren't from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Y'all are going to expect this of me, but...
Zoroastrianism was once the national religion of Iran. It certainly was copied, in varying degrees, by many other peoples, but, it always was, until Islam, the major religion almost exclusively of the Iranian folk. Under the Hakhamanishi it was the preeminent religion. It retained popularity under the syncretistic Ashkani and became, during the Sasssanian dynasty, the official state religion. Just about all of today's Zardushtis are of the tiny minority of Irani and the small-but-influential Parsis in India, who are medieval immigrants from Iran.

cap'n i think no ideology can prevent intermarriages between communities in our time, the world is getting smaller i should say, with all the internet and stuff going on and the barriers are getting destroyed. You should more or less portray judaism regarding its role of keeping the jewish communities tight almost everywhere for the last 2000 years, it both directly and indirectly is the biggest factor for the existence of world jewry. if the hebrews for instance were christians, they would have been assimilated in europe very long time ago.

I agree with you. That was the situation until some time in the 1900's. I was referring to the present and to race. My guess is that there are very few non-Mongoloid members in the relatively tiny religion of Shinto.

I take it you're a Baptist, Cap'n. Doesn't the Southern Baptist Convention condemn interracial marriage? And what about Bob Jones University? At least the Catholic Church allows interracial marriage, although some Catholic parents may not allow it. There was a lot of mixing between the Spaniards and the Indians. The English who came to this country didn't do that much mixing compared to the Romance-speaking Europeans. And yeah, the Church does teach tolerance. The intolerant Catholics you're familiar with are false Catholics.

The Southern Baptists and most other Baptist churches have no rules against interracial dating or marriage. Bob Jones University doesn't represent the racial views of most Evangelicals, but even they rescinded their ban on interracial dating several years ago.

Lack of Birth Control has nothing to do with Racial Preservationism. Before the 1930s, pretty much all denominations condemned Birth Control. I'm a devout Catholic who accepts the Church's stance on Birth Control, and I'm also bi-racial.

Judaism decries intermarriage; even the liberal sects such as Reform regularly publish articles calling it the biggest threat to the religion. Except for the Orthodox, Hasidim, etc., Jews in the US have an over 50% intermarriage rate. I intermarried (he was raised Southern Baptist); my brother did not.

Well, I don't think any religion preserves race... except Christian Identity, and maybe Mormonism.

Orthodox, they don't evangelize like the Western Christians. Orthodox churches here in the USA raise money to aid their fellows in eastern Europe, rather sending missions to the third world.
British Israelism and Christian Identity are too marginalized to be have much of an effect at preserving anything.
