I just discovered why the Baptists are not listed separately:
They are part of the sub-confessions that make up the Evangelicals, if I understood that correctly.
“Comprising nearly a quarter of the U.S. population, evangelicals are a diverse group drawn from a variety of backgrounds, including nondenominational churches, Pentecostal, Baptist, Reformed, Methodist, Mennonite, Plymouth Brethren, and Quaker.[2][3][4]”
Especially listing Quakers seems incorrect here.
Quakers are also a different belief system all together.
I also seem to lack some information on distinctions of evangelical sects.
When I think of Evangelist, I think of those mega churches and home schooled kids. Families with 12 kids. (All home schooled). They have extreme views about gender roles and submission of women. Super anti lgbtq.
But technically, that’s “fundamentalist”. ?
I originally commented, thinking I understood the main branches of Christianity in the U.S and now. I know that I’m confused as it’s very complicated.

Hm.
Wikipedia says something that I found confusing.
