Why is it that when Religion is discussed here it is only Christianity mostly?

Are there really a good percentage of other faiths in the Western world where most internet forums are based?

Let's just look at the two most well represented countries for our site specifically. According to census the USA identifies itself at 73% christian, while the UK is lower at 59.3%. That's the answer right there, because it's the most dominant form of religion in the Western World. I'm sure I'd be happy to debate with a buddhist about religion if I ever met one who wanted to do so, but I never have.

It's often difficult to start a dialogue between eastern and western religions. Moreso with Christianity and Islam, who are more fixated on the need to convert people to their one absolute truth which comes from the one true god. Judaism doesn't care about converting people, though still believes in the one god, whereas eastern faiths are much more potluck about this sort of thing. The core of Buddhism isn't even really a religion as such. The more religious aspects of Buddhism were tacked on later, mostly through the Mahayana path, which added in heavens and hells and beings such as Bodhisatvas.
