The doctrine was well established by the 2nd century, but theologians were always puzzled that Paul never mentioned it. In 21st century mainstream Protestant denominations, belief in the Virgin Mary is considered optional.<ref> See for example Donald K.

Many people mistakenly identify others as worshipers of Mary. Mary's unique role was heavenly designed and unique as the Virgin birth or the Assumption adoration. True Christians love Mary but they worship God.
The Islamic Koran contains Mary and Jesus. Mary is portrayed as an extraordinary mother of a great Prophet. However, her role is vastly different. Mary was neither the Mother of God (Deny Jesus is God) nor was Jesus's conceived from a virgin mother.
