I live in the American bible belt, so...
I've encountered three main kinds of Baptists:
Easter Baptists who dress up for church on Easter, call themselves Baptists when asked, but aren't really interested in religion (until a crisis comes along, at which point we all become desperate for answers and purpose). These people are cool, and definitely not worth arguing religion with.
Cheerful Baptists who go to church regularly, love God, and are tolerant of others. These people are wonderful! They ignore or carefully rationalize away all the problematic parts of the Bible, though. Like they think that nonbelievers aren't somehow going to Hell, Deuteronomy doesn't exist, homosexuality might not be a sin... I never debated religion with people like this before I don't want to disrupt their happiness and tolerance of others. Most of my family is like this.
Evangelicals, who want to save everyone from being sinners. Which is actually the most logical and generous action for a true believer. The most dangerous tyrant is one who selflessly helps people. I always tried to argue with these. Mostly because they joined the fight willingly, and were campaigning fanatically against my rights. There was always so much internally-consistent logic behind their arguments, that I thought I could just point out the flawed foundation and they'd change their minds. I was young and naive, heh.
