In Alabama there was a big push in the late 90s to start a lottery to benefit education and the general fund but the Baptists threw an absolute fit and prevented it from happening.

It wasn't just the baptists, catholics threw a fit too. There was a huge campaign by the catholic churches in baldwin county against it. Ironic since they all have their own bingo nights and draw down lotteries.
