This country was founded by and became the predominate home to Christian

not our problem if you can't follow the majority.


I don't buy it. You lump all Christians together like they are
homogenous, but that is not the case. While 52% of this country is
Protestant, they are not all the same religion. Roman Catholics are
another 24%, but according to this site, they are clearly not Christian.


Any religion which uses Christ as its centerpiece, IMHO is a
"Christian" faith. They may differ in subtle forms of biblical
interpretation, but they share the common element of Christ.

The divide and conquer strategy won't fly in this case.

Personally, I would think Catholics are Christian, but use the site to
show there isn't an easy way to lump religions together.


Anyone is entitled to have an opinion. Anyone can put up a website.
There are many people who have agendas. There are nutcases who are
claiming that aircraft were't responsible for the attacks on 9/11, and
that they were the result of missiles.
