    Re: What's your Religion?

    I think you should have combined the Catholic and Christian category... Catholicism is part of Christianity, as is Protestant and Eastern Orthodox. Best to just group them under one heading in this comparrison especially when you are classifying Islam under one as well.

            Baptist 33,830,000
            Methodist/Wesleyan 14,150,000
            Lutheran 9,580,000
            Presbyterian 5,596,000

            Latter-day Saints/Mormon 2,697,000
            Churches of Christ 2,593,000

            or, if you combine the Christian religions:

            Christianity 159,030,000
            Nonreligious/Secular 27,539,000

              Yeah I know what you mean. Christian for the most part consist of 3 branches: Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestantism. Just like Islam has 4 main branches to them and I think Buddhism has 5.

              But since America is mainly a Christian country I thought it would be a good idea to branch out the denominations.

              Good Point though. If the poll would allow me to go beyond 10 I would have listed 30.

                  I'm Born again, and Baptist...

                  While I'm not what you call a fundamentalist by any means, I was raised baptist, still am baptist, and believe I have been born again, the way the Bible says you need to be. So where does that put me?

                      You could have really lumped the larger Christian branches into catholic/protestant, but then some people would find issue with the penticostal and baptist branches, as there's evidenced they never were part of the catholic church, therefore never broke off the church, laid low, and therefore were never protestant.

                      oh well.

                        My belief is only that of god, the bible is nothing more than another of man's works of literature to me. My belief also brings me to understand to get closer to god, one must study science and reason instead of literature of contradiction, worship, and eating pieces of cracker and drinking grape juice on Sunday.

                          It depends on the translation. Word ("The Word") is true, people are not always-men study the universe, but did not create it. B4 we go off too much in a tangent. Yes, things like this should be studied logicly and such not blindly, because when someone reads a book they may not get the same out of it as someone else-or may not even be understanding it properly. Also there are different translations of the Bible so that is a factor also.

                          actually its not crackers, its bread without yeast.

                            Catholicism is actually the first Christian church established by Peter. They are the ones that put together the Bible in the 3rd ce during the council of Hippo. Constantine called the Christians Catholics because the church became universal in its acceptance of people from all culture. Back then Christianity was exclusively for coverted Jews but Paul changed that in a drastic way.

                            Protestant didn't come in the picture till like 15 ce. Each Protestant denomination had different founders. The Bible lost 7 books (Apachraphal=greek writings)and words were changed.

                            That's why when I was going back Christianity I wanted to know all the different denomination and I found out that Catholism is not a denomination at all but a historical church that's been around for over 2000 years.

                            That cracker is called a waffer. Bread with no yeast.

                              True, maybe, MAYBE Peter founded the catholic church...but if Peter was around today he'd be appalled. I won't get into a flame war here, nor do I want to, but like I said, the catholic church is very corrupt and certainly IS NOT what it may have been when it was founded.

                                Corrupt in what way? If you're talking about sex sandal that happening here in the US then I see your point. But sex sandal is true in all religion, just the Catholic church is a bigger target. Every church has had it's dark periods. SInce the Catholic church has been around for 2000yrs it's history of dark periods would be more than others. Heck, even sex scandals happen in Congress.

                                Popes are successors to Peter. When Pope Paul II died last year, MSNBC, CNN, FOX and so on did a tibits of history on the Popes and what that stands for.

                                Traditionally the church hasn't changed. Throughout its history it only changed twice and that's recorded in the Vatican I and Vatican II council and the changes is not that drastic. You just hear mass in English instead of Latin and no more cloistered priest, nuns, monks and such.
