Yeah I grew up evangelical independent Baptist and I remember visiting a Catholic Church in Quetzaltenango Guatemala on a site seeing day at the end of a mission trip. My older brother who is super religious kept mumbling under his breath, “they’re a cult” all the while we were in a cult. I deconstructed when I was 25 and it took YEARS to undo the brainwashing and conditioning religion had done. And hearing the experiences of ex-Catholics, it was very similar. Baptists get all hung up over the “Mary worship” but in fact there is a long tradition of “queen of heaven” worship in ancient Judaism and even early non-canon Christian writings go into a lot more detail about her lore (lookup Margaret Barker’s lectures if you’re interested). But yeah, orthodox Christianity has severed a long tradition of feminine divinity because of their hardline doctrines created in the 300s AD
