29. Just to add to the mix here...
I'm not a Baptist, but am on the Baptist Peace Federation of North America (www.bpfna.org ) listserve.

This is a small dedicated group that would like to, among other things, steer at least a part of the Baptist world back to its pacifist roots. It crosses over into the Welcoming and Affirming Baptists quite a bit and sponsors Christian Peacemaker teams, Every Church a Peace Church, and other ecumenical peace and human rights efforts.

I haven't asked anyone outright, but I'd hazard a guess that they, like Jimmy Carter, aren't going to dump their beliefs and the church they've spent their lives with simply because some dildos got control of a large part of it. Fighting to get the church back on the path of their grandparents seems more their way.
