(#5) Jimmy Carter
- 94
Former President Jimmy Carter was a longtime follower of the Southern Baptist faith, but he left the religion in 2000 due to the church's rigid views on women. "I’m familiar with the verses they have quoted about wives being subjugated to their husbands,” he said. “In my opinion, this is a distortion of the meaning of Scripture. … I personally feel the Bible says all people are equal in the eyes of God. I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church.”

About This Tool
The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Protestant Christian denomination in the United States. The Southern Baptist Church has conservative beliefs. Because of dissatisfaction with the World Baptist League's tolerance of homosexuality and female pastors, in 2004, the Southern Baptist Church officially separated from the World Baptist League. Each Southern Baptist Church is an independent local church composed of baptized believers, who make responsible decisions for their own pastoral appointments, budgets, activities, and other ministries.
Southern Baptist currently has 15 million members, second only to American Catholicism in the number of beliefs and religious factions. The interesting thing is that there are many famous people who believe in Southern Baptist. The random tool lists 29 celebrities' names who were Southern Baptists.
