But I love this picture XD adorable!
I'm also glad that you weren't offended; I wasn't trying to be offensive, and people sometimes just freak out whenever I mention stuff - even if it's true.
Anyway, this is my newest fave!
In northern Germany, protestantism is very dominant, while in Bavaria or the Rhineland, catholicism is dominant. And in some memberstates, like Hassia, one village might be mainly catholic, while the next one is protestant. In Eastern Germany, Communism has virtually wiped-out religiousity. So, it's not possible to declare Germany as protestant, catholic or belonging to any other religion.
Even in the English-dubbed version of Hetalia, Germany/Ludwig is depicted as Protestant when he made a comment regarding the Italian Brothers being Catholic.
In same comparison, America is said to be a Protestant country in general because it had branched out of England with Puritan and Amish beliefs, but depending in various communities just like in Germany, some parts are more Catholic, while other parts have forms Protestantism (ie. Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Fundamentalist, etc.), other religions (ie. Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, etc.), non-dominant organizations, or are even Atheist.
I'm not not declaring any country or anybody being solely being one thing or another - I'm just merely using the stereotype and general depiction given to a country based on historical accounts and/or global perspectives; I know that everyone, including countries as a whole, are given stereotypes to simplify things according to the view of others in the world based on what (little) they know and hear about.
However, just because they are said to have and are portrayed with a particular stereotype, only about 80-85% actually fit within their 'assigned' stereotype - the other 15-20% have degrees of it or don't express it at all (ie. I'm sure you know most of the world think that Europeans, especially those in Germanic countries, in general have blond hair; but in reality, just like in most countries of the world, dark hair is more dominant).
