The Presbyterian Church is the dominant religion in [[Scotland]], and because of this was historically strong in areas of the United States where large numbers of [[Scots-Irish]] settled, although many Americans of Scots-Irish ancestry would later convert to the [[Baptist]] and [[Methodist]] faiths during the early 1800s.

In the early 20th century, the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., the majority of American Presbyterians, modernized much of its theology. The results of such modernization (i.e., a move towards [[Liberal Christianity]]) include the well-respected scholar [[J. Gresham Machen]] leaving [[Princeton theological seminary]] and Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. and helping to found [[Westminster seminary]] and [[Orthodox Presbyterian Church]].
