Catholics genuflect to honor the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle. Protestants generally do not have the Blessed Sacrament present in the church so there would be no need to genuflect.

Catholics genuflect in Church ONLY if the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the sanctuary. In other words, they are genuflecting to God physically present in the front of their Church.
