I think the biggest problem is that for you to be considered of one faith you just have to say you are.
So most people, who arent really religious, who dont even think about their faith, when asked about it , will say they are religious and miss the question.
Atheists on the other hand have a problem with religions. So they care. They read it about to have ways to debunk it. Therefore, they know at least some of its history.
Im catholic. I cant believe how many times, talking to other people who say they are catholic too, I hear things that are completely against catholic doctrine.
So the point becomes.: Are you a Christian or Jew or Muslim or whatever, just because you say so? I honestly dont know. I believe that for you to be of any faith you must abide by that religion's doctrines. If you dont, thats fine, but dont say that you still believe in it.
Can someone think that Chist wasnt God and say they are Christian? Can someone say they dont believe in God and say they are jewish?
I think not, but that doesnt keep others from saying it anyway.
@Homer_Simpson - With me is the other way around. The more I study it, the more I believe in it. You may think what you want, but you need to stop making your generalizing affirmation.
