Anti-Katolik di Amerika Serikat

Anti-Katolik di Amerika Serikat sepanjang sejarah sangat berakar pada sikap anti-Katolik umat Protestan di Britania Raya dan Jerman setelah Reformasi. Para imigran yang membawakan sikap tersebut ke koloni-koloni Amerika. Dua jenis retorika anti-Katolik ada di masyarakat kolonial dan berlanjut pada abad-abad berikutnya. Yang pertama berasal dari warisan teologi Reformasi Protestan dan peperangan keagamaan pada abad keenam belas, yang terdiri dari anggapan Antikristus dan Pelacur Besar Biblikal dan pemikiran yang didominasi anti-Katolik sampai akhir abad ketujuh belas. Jenis kedua adalah ragam sekuler yang datang dari xenofobia dan sentimen Nativis etnosentris dan rasa terganggu terhadap meningkatnya arus imigran Katolik, terutama dari Irlandia dan negara-negara non-Eropa Barat Laut seperti Italia, dan sering kali tertuju pada tuduhan intrik negara-negara Katolik atau bangsa-bangsa Katolik melawan Amerika Serikat yang mayoritas Protestan.

Setelah 1980, ketegangan sepanjang sejarah antara Protestan evangelikal dan Katolik berkurang drastis. Dalam politik, keduanya sering bergabung bersama dalam masalah-masalah kebudayaan dan sosial yang konservatif, seperti penentangan terhadap pernikahan sesama jenis. Pada 2000, koalisi Partai Republik meliputi hampir setengah orang Katolik dan sebagian besar evangelikal kulit putih.
