Why isn't there an altar in a Methodist church?
Most Methodist churches have an altar. It is typically in the same location it would be found at in any church.
Why do the Methodists refer to the Holy Catholic church?
In the Apostle's Creed the Methodist (and other Protestant denominations) declare: "I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, ...". In this context, the term "holy catholic church" (note the lower case "c" not upper case "C") refers to the universal church not the Roman Catholic Church. The universal church is a term for the larger Christian community (including Catholics, Protestant denominations, etc.). And likewise, the Nicene Creed reads similarly with "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church".

Why Baptists and Methodists split during the Civil War along sectional?
Though the Triennial Convention and the Home Mission Society were theoretically neutral in regards to slavery, some Baptists in the South did not believe this assurance of neutrality. They knew several leaders who were engaged in abolitionist activity. To test this neutrality, Georgia Baptists recommended James E. Reeve, a slaveholder, to the Home Mission Society as a missionary in the South. The Society's board decided that they would not appoint a slaveholder as a missionary, a decision that the Baptists in the south saw as an infringement on their equal rights.[2] Another issue that disturbed the churches in the south was the perception that the American Baptist Home Mission Society (org. 1832) did not appoint a proportionate number of missionaries to the southern region of the US. Baptists both north and south preferred different types of denominational organization: the Baptists in the north preferred a loosely structured society composed of individuals who paid annual dues, with each society usually focused on a single ministry. Baptists in southern churches preferred an organization composed of churches patterned after their associations, with a variety of ministries brought under the direction of one denominational organization.[3] Baptists from the South subsequently broke from the national organizations and formed a new convention, the Southern Baptist Convention which was formed May 8–12, 1845, in Augusta, Georgia. Its first president was William Bullein Johnson (1782-1862), who was president of the Triennial Convention in 1841.

What is the difference between Methodists and congregationalists?
- There is no great difference in their beliefs.
- Methodists do not have parochial schools.
- Methodist do not drink alcoholic wine at communion.
- Methodists say " forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" when reciting the Lord's prayer. Lutherans say "debts" and "debtors"
I am guessing that the order of worship may be more controlled in the Lutheran church, but that may not be true.
Addition: Methodists are allowed to change up the order of worship a little bit, especially contemporary services, but Methodists general cling to the traditional "method" of worshiping. Many people brought up Methodist are very appreciative and aware of having a printed or posted order of worship for reference, especially when things are changed around.
There are many many differences, between the two bodies. I was raised in the Methodist and Presbyterian church , which are much more similar de to the roots of the denominatons.
Lutheranism was patterned from Reformer Martin Luther a Roman Catholic priest. Although his 95 thesis was posted on the fdoor the Lutheran Church has remained the closest of the Protestant bodies to Catholic in doctrine and liturgy. Although Anglican is also similar to Catholic, there are many points of differences in doctrin which Anglican has more in common with the Reformed faith.
Methodism which came from the word Methodical traces its roots to John Wesley an Anglican priest. The Methodist church became more of an evangelical holliness and revivalist denomiation. Some churches will vary in style. While still having some similarities to Anglican, they still retain close resemblance to the Presbyterian church as well. Methodist are much less liturgical than Lutherans and have differences in doctrine regarding the sacraments of communion and baptism.
Lutherans believe in consubstantiation ( similar to Catholics) with regards to Communion while Methodist hold a spiritual significance, much different.
Methodist services can resemble a low episcopal or Presbyterian or Congregational church, but not a Lutheran liturgy at all, which again is much more similar to Roman Catholic.
I would like to take issue with the above answer. The United Methodist Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church are now in full communion with each since 2008. Both are liberal, mainline Protestant denominations that celebrate the Holy Eucharist and Baptism as sacraments. The Roman Catholic Church believes in transubstantian not consubstantian. The UMC believe in the living presence of christ while celebrating Holy Communion-like the Episcopal Church.
Both share a belief in the Apostolic Succession and both have deacons, elders and Bishops. The Lutherans are more apt to be more formal in their worship and be more "Episcopalian" than an average UMC service. But both celebrate the Christian year and festivals and both have prayer books. The UMC prayer book is very similar to the Book of Common Prayer found in the Anglican Communion. John Wesly was a "high church" Anglican Priest and stayed that way till his death. Because of this, the UMC is predominately Anglican in doctrine and theology and in its liturgy. The Lutherans have much in common with the Episcopal Church and both have been in full communion since 2002.

There are many differences. The two biggest differences are in the sacraments of Communion and Baptism. Churches such as Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians baptize infants and receive communion anywhere from once a month to every Sunday. Other denominations such as Baptists, Nazarenes, and other Evangelicals, receive communion less often and only baptize older children and adults.
