I was raised as a Christian, because my Dad is a Lutheran pastor.  I follow the Bible explicitly, but I do study other religions in order to better debate with people.

Usually I prefer not to make generalities, but this question sort of requires one.  I prefer to consider *people* on a case by case basis.\n\nI think Christianity, in and of itself, is a nice way of living a life, no better nor worse than most other paths.\n\nI admit I wish that more Christians were actually "Christ-like" in that they could be more peaceful and less judgmental.\n\nAnd I have problems with bigotry against homosexuals being mandated by a faith.\n\nI also wish some Christians could admit that they believe what they do based on *faith* and not insist it is *fact*.  \n\nHowever, by and large, it's okay with me.  Not that my approval matters!  : )\n\nThanks for asking -- think that's the first time I ever saw it asked.

I agree with you, I think 1/4 of America is christian and I frankly think it is odd that the most questions in this area are about christianity.  The only things that I can think of are:\n\n- Christians have the most questions\n- Christians are still very actively trying to convert folks and so are most vocal\n- maybe some Christians are so insecure that they need to constantly speak to other christians in order to keep their faith strong\n- perhaps our own most vocal christians here are so devoted to their religion that they can think of nothing else\n\nI am starting to get tired of the same questions over and over again, though, I can tell you.

a lot of we'll call them religious fanaticals are very very very closed minded they live in a box and wont go out of it for any reason.  I am probably more monotheistic than polytheistic and i guess i believe in the "western" christian view of jesus but i am certainly ready to learn more and open minded enough to listen to what people say and if it makes more sense than what the bible says then by all means im going to believe it.

I am a Christian which is not a religion it is a relationship.  I checked out most of the other religions which are man's attempt to reach God.  I believe in Christianity because of the testimony of the Bible saints as well as those whose lives I have seen converted. I know that it is the only belief system that can make a difference in someones life not by doing or being good but by allowing the Living Creator of Heaven and Earth to indwell in you and His helping you to change your life around.

yes, being a Christian is about following Christ, not a religion.\n\ni think people need to feel strong about Jesus, not their religion. it erks me a bit.\n\n...and where in the Bible does it say if you cuss, say 5 Hail Mary's?

Shinto/Buddhism dually observed makes up the majority. A handful of Christians here and there, too.

According to the 2001 Census, 2.7% of the United Kingdom's population identifies themselves as Muslim. This corresponds to 1.59 million people. In comparison there are 42 million Christians, 559 thousand Hindus, 336 thousand Sikhs, 267 thousand Jews, and  152 thousand Buddhists. About 1/4 of the Census respondents chose not to state their religion or chose no religion (this also includes those who chose Jedi)

If people think that only Christians can have love for others, then I hope they would think I was a Christian by my actions.\n\nHowever, I am NOT a Christian.  I am a Hindu.  I hope they could know that I was loving by my actions.

Unfortunately, many mock my faith and perceive me as  a mere simpleton. I am oftentimes shunned by peers because of my beliefs and dismissed when attempting to speak my mind. Frankly, I sometimes find being Christian rather difficult because it is the only religion that can be attacked without being politically incorrect.

Personally I'm agnostic. But the category is religion not atheism. That's probably why.

sometimes yes.\nI am a full out Born Again, Bible Believing, Southern Bapt., Christian.  \nAnd there are times when i hang my head low over the actions and speech of Christians.  \nWe are targets and some dont realize how much they hurt.

I believe in God, and I'm definitely Christian, but I can't identify any more than that. I would say that I'm nondenominational, but nowadays that's a denomination in and of itself (which doesn't make sense, so go figure). I do think my beliefs tend to be more Baptist, although I'm not active in any sense of the word. A believer without works would describe me well.

Yes, I love Christians and i'm a devout Muslim.  I have alot of Christian family members and friends...in fact my Step-father is a Baptist who builds churches for a living.

Not in the least.  Take a look around and you'll see that just about every faith is slammed by people here.  Look at the way some supposed religious people answer questions about other faiths and you'll see that Christians do plenty of viewing others negatively themselves.
