I have read that Margaret White is some offshoot of evangelical Christianity, but what perturbes me are the images of Mary and the saints. Outside her kitchen is a depiction of the Assumption of Mary, which is a Catholic belief. In her bedroom at the end, we see a picture of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which, again, is a Catholic devotion. Also, the image of St. Sebastian in the prayer closet would be another "Catholic" thing (for lack of a better word).
I just don't understand. Evangelical Christians would be highly against these sorts of images.

Yes, I was raised evangelical Baptist (but am NO MORE), and it was Jesus all the way. No stuff with Mary and the Saints.

I think she was simply a lunatic who made up her own religion. The nonsense she spews is neither Catholic or Protestant. It's simply madness.

In the book, she disbanded from normal church people and had her own church services at home with Carrie. The movie differs a bit, but it may have been the same case there as well.
