Family member has adopted Baha'i in a big way. Of course I looked around to find out what the hell it is and on the surface it appears to be fairly innocuous religion and not an extremist sect, but you never know.
The family member has lived her entire 40+ year life in Texas and grew up in a very southern Baptist atmosphere, so this is unexpected and certainly out of the ordinary for a lifetime Texan.
There are kids in her family so we are concerned if this is some kind of weird outlier muslim thing. Or it could be fine, we don't know what to think.
That's kind of a relief, I've never heard of baha'i before and just doing internet searches yielded only some confusing 19th century muddled philosophy about one god and love your neighbor. Which we have heard before too many times, and often with bad outcomes. :/
Do you have any useful links you'd like to share?

These two sites will give you the basics of their beliefs but if you want to go on a deep dive , I have a few books I can recommend . Online and easily accessible resources for Bahá’í aren’t overly abundant . Mostly , I think anyway, due to their size but those will be a start . Let me know if you’re at all interested in a book list and I’ll also see if I can find some free online copies . FYI : books on Bahá’í fall into scathing criticism by author with axe to grind or love letter obviously penned by a devout adherent. So expect bias .
Personally , I lob them into the same category as Mormons: your prophet was most likely full of shit , and some of your beliefs are completely separated from reality , but most of you are alright .
