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.

LOL, people were persecuted for those "subtle forms of biblical
interpretation". I am not trying to divide and conquer. Christians are
*not* an homogeneous group, never have been.



Worry not...at some point in the not-too-distant future, various
Christian groups will declare war on each other, and start shooting each
other's followers for supremacy over the Divided States of Jesusville.
They are, after all, not much different from the Sunnis and the Shi'ites.

I plan to cheer on both sides.
