- Baptists in the United States make up a large number of all Baptists worldwide. Approximately 15.3% of Americans identify as Baptist, making Baptists the second largest religious group in the United States. Baptists adhere to a congregationalist structure, so local church congregations are generally self-regulating and autonomous, meaning that their broadly Christian religious beliefs can and do vary. Baptists make up a significant portion of evangelicals in the United States (although many Baptist groups are classified as mainline) and approximately one third of all Protestants in the United States. Divisions among Baptists have resulted in numerous Baptist bodies, some with long histories and others more recently organized. There are also many Baptists operating independently or practicing their faith in entirely independent congregations. English Baptists migrated to the American colonies during the seventeenth century. Baptist theological reflection informed how the colonists understood their presence in the New World, especially in Rhode Island through the preaching of Roger Williams, John Clarke, and others. During the 18th century, the Great Awakening resulted in the conversion of many slaves to Baptist churches, although they were often segregated and relegated lower status within Baptist churches. Although some Baptists opposed slavery during this period, many Baptists in the south remained slave holders and still others considered it a political decision and not a moral issue. Baptist congregations formed their first national organization the Triennial Convention in the early 1800s. The current largest U.S. Baptist denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, split from Triennial Baptists over their refusal to support slave-owning in 1845. Following abolition, Black Baptist churches were formed due to continued practices of segregation and the mistreatment of Blacks. Today, the largest denominations among African Americans are the National Baptist Convention and the Progressive National Baptist Convention. Recently, criticism has been published surrounding the lack of diversity in mainline and evangelical Baptist churches, including accusations of white supremacy leveled against some churches. (en)

- As origens da fé batista nos Estados Unidos vêm desde o tempo da Reforma Protestante na Inglaterra, no século XVI. Vários dissidentes, conhecidos como "puritanos", exigiam que a Igreja Anglicana cortasse fora as influências Católicas restantes e retornassem à fé simples dos Cristãos do Novo Testamento. Esses dissidentes também demandavam estrita responsabilidade para com o relacionamento com Deus. Um dos dissidentes proeminentes que se levantaram no século XVII foi John Smyth. Smyth foi um forte proponente do e, em 1609, foi tão longe a ponto de rebatizar a si próprio e a outros. O ato de Smyth era um sinal da primeira igreja Batista inglesa. Smyth também introduziu a visão Arminiana de que a a graça de Deus é para todos e não para indivíduos predestinados. (pt)
