I doubt a muslim perp doing this would distinguish between brands of christianity, particularly with so many to choose from - this more likely is someone with a personal fixation regarding the baptist church for who knows what reason.

The media says it's not racial.  Because both black and white churches have burnt down.  I'm like you:  it's probably some brain dead atheist just getting his kicks.  I pray they find him/them real soon.  Lots of nuts running around today.

"it's probably some brain dead atheist just getting his kicks."

Why atheist? Given the fixation with Baptist churches in particular I would think it more likely that the perp is/was a baptist than any other denomination or athetist. (ex-baptist turned athetist is still baptist in my book for motive purposes).
