Ok as an ex catholic the level of sacreligiosity here is impressive. The cross isn’t the heavy bit, it’s heavy sure, he was tortured to death, but a stranger helped him carry it when he couldn’t carry it alone. The heavy bit was choosing to go be tortured to death for everyone including his killers. It was refusing to use divine power to save himself. The cross? No, a thief, a murderer, and a prophet died on that hill that day, each carried their cross, each died on it.
That means it’s fine to give wine to kids because it totally won’t give them a buzz! It won’t affect their feelings towards the church or make them easier to manipulate at all.
Most of the really out there Christian fundamentalists, the ones eating the brain of the US political system, are derived from the Protestant Reformation (or Anglican, which is sorta to the side of the Reformation). Even the more fundamentalist Catholics in the US have opinions that align to the Protestants around them rather than the Pope. Big Bang and evolution, for example.

I’m not religious but I live in a protestant (but mostly unreligious) country and it sure seems more sane than Catholics.
Our national church is surprisingly liberal and is welcoming to LGBTQ people for example. The church is also not involved in normal politics. We have specific church elections where members of the church can vote for church shit, but nobody really cares about that.
Catholics are insane though. Why the fuck would anyone trust a homophobic idiot in Rome?

Protestants are fucking weird.
To be fair, transubstantiation.
Trans what now?

Nope. Nuh-uh.
To be fair, I think they cut out the part where a bunch of people meditate in catacombs after ingesting mushrooms caps picked from dead bodies.
And as a paragon of good I wouldn’t think Jesus would be so smug about it
Not to detect from your final point, but I’m quite sure the point of this super dumb religious meme is the symbolic weight of the cross.
It’s not protestants, it’s wacko us pseudo Christian sects that are anything but (but that seem to be dominant in the religious landscape in the US).
They are, by and large, Protestant Christians.
If your god’s greatest act is “willingly becoming a murder victim”, you might be in a death cult.
What does Protestants have to do with this?

Catholics are the worst of the worst.
