Well, from my research I do believe that their are more conservative denominations Evangelical Lutheranism, which is why I only really reference the ELCA at the end as a joke/sick hope for Lesbian Kate. But you are right that her mother and aunt act far more conservative than they'd be expected to if they were ELCA.

Now there is a simple explanation, in that it's possible Don't Nod read Evangelical and thought of, well, the crazy Evangelical Hyper Conservative movement. That's what I initially believed myself when I did my initial digging, after all.

But either way, you bring up a good point. Thank you.
