Let us retract the foreskin of ignorance and apply the wirebrush of enlightenment.

So I guess the answer is a question: why are Americans so afraid of each other?
Because its part of the American heritage to take advantage of each other.

Obviously in the past 80 years or so things have moderate​d, but many religious families will still get bent out of shape if you don't do the full Catholic thing.
My parents married almost 50 years ago. My mother was a Protestant and the week before the wedding her uncle asked her how much could he pay her not to marry my Catholic father.

They were also upset with my grandfather for even attending the wedding in a Catholic church. He told them that nothing was going to stop him from attending his daughter's wedding and thereafter, he didn't attend his own church very much.

While my sister and husband had their kids go to Catholic church and participated in catechism up through confirmation, nobody in our families has given me or my wife any problems about not even baptizing our son.
