I was raised as a Lutheran, and also lived in a rural environment.  I have
visitied Catholic churches and sat through Catholic services, though.  From
what I perceived, Catholicism is much more urbanized.  More detail is put
into the appearance of the church to inspire it's greatness and power, and
some of the practices such as hearing a confession appeared to be means for a
church run state to know who the troublemakers were.

Some things were carried over or kept from Catholicism after the reformation, t
however  the Luthern faith has a little more compatibility with regards to
expansionism because it's structure is stripped down.  In a way they put less 
reliance in the church to connect with God.  Lutherans still like to have a
nice church to goto , however they are not as ornate.  I have only been to two
 or three churches that were older than 100 years old, and they were a little
more ornate, but otherwise newer churches put more in the utility of the
building.

In adult life I never really considered faith a reason to like or dislike
peopel, however the strange thing is  the better friends I had turned to be
Lutheran without me knowing it right away.

Not bragging, just an observation.  Have others such as Catholics find theselv
es making more friends of their faith without previous knowledge?
