Not all protestants are boring like that. This has very "so-called 'non-denominational' protestant" energy to it. Quite different from an Anglican, or Calvinist, or Presbyterian, or Methodist church.
It's not about being boring. Protestantism came into existence out of protest, because the Catholic church was accepting money to lower the punishment for sins.
Without this money, you're less likely to build elaborate cathedrals. But I imagine, it's also a matter of not wanting to indulge in the same gluttony as the Catholic church.
Sure, but there's a big difference between an austere Calvinist church and fold-up chairs in a rented hall often used by so-called "non-denominational" (a term I absolutely hate, because it's just a lie) churches.
Mormon Dark Souls: slight variations of the same map over and over. And you take damage from the scratchy carpet walls. Boss level maps are different and cool but everyone's dressed like bakers for some fucking reason.

Episcopalianism is basically just Catholicism where the pastor is (openly) gay.
