That culture shows up, for example, in the way Catholics were persecuted when they first came here. Even though Catholicism has become part of main stream society, I think the basic culture is extremely Calvinistic. With Protestantism, the highly developed art form is, of course, music. You have Bach and the sort of European music that does not involve your body because it doesn't have drums. It doesn't have that sort of rhythm, like that of indigenous folk music, which always uses drums because your body is supposed to respond.
Protestant music is very ethereal, very cerebral.
It fits the theology, which touches your heart and mind, but not any other part, and has to do with a strong strain in Christianity of seeing the world as a corrupting influence. Seeing sensuality as corrupting. Seeing pleasure, anything that might entice you to love the world as art does as a problem. Art is tactile, it's material culture, and when it works it's enchanting. And intensely pleasurable.
