fwiw - God and Jesus aren't sexist. Those teaching came about as a sign of the times. I sometimes wonder how they consider the Pope only being male and only being white in all the years since Jesus (except 3). This can't possibly be regarded well that PEOPLE still believe God only wants to speak through white males. Oh well, human nature sucks.
Maybe the omnipotent god should have known better and had Jesus be born to as an aboriginal woman in Australia. This is/was "his" one chance to convince humanity of the pathway to salvation (from "his" rules BTW).![]()

I can’t speak to Protestantism or other parts of the country but I have not seen this as an issue in Catholic churches in MD/DC or Boston when I used to live. Typically the most overtly political churches are the mainline ones with political flags and signs everywhere.

Consider that for centuries, the Catholic Church was only in Europe and is still patriarchal. That explains all the white guys.
And for centuries it hasn't been, yet nothing has changed. Catholicism started to spread in the 1400s, so 700-800 years and . . . Nothing changed.
