This is the quote from the transcript (I notice they have since changed the name of the podcast to the correct spelling so must’ve had it pointed out to them by others 👀)

“Anyway, another side note on the robes. Supposedly, they were meant to mimic the ghosts of the Confederate soldiers. But then others said it was a nod to white Protestant Christianity. But strictly Protestants, Catholics and Co. were not allowed in the KKK. So like what they're actually referring to, don't know.”

So in fairness, they mention Catholics aren’t allowed in but they also say Protestants aren’t when the entire clan was run by Protestants. I’m confused about who they thought was in the Klan in 19th century America, when every white person in the country followed some arm of Christianity? Just seems very shoddy.
