I thought Catholics followed the teachings of Christ, therefore they were "Christians". Probably, you meant to say "There is a very big difference between Protestants and Catholics" which both are Christians. |
What I mean is that it's odd to call the entire community Christian. In America, the kinds of Christians you see are generally protestants. When you ask a Catholic what they are, they say Catholic, not Christian. You are correct in saying that a catholic IS a christian, and that the difference is between protestants and Christians, but I'm specifically referring to the "USA is 70% Christian" demographic.
I personally do not like the protestant group, but they are the majority of Christians, and it kind of paints US Christianity in a certain light. I don't know if I'm explaining myself correctly, but I guess it would be similar to saying 50% of Americans are Republicans, but making the distinction for alt-right, or tea-party groups. They believe in the same things for the most part, but are very very very different from what has historically been painted as republican.
Oh, you know what. It's like when I invented the term on this site called traditional core. The word core generally means "what is bought by the majority". So in the Wii days, I would say something like, the wii is missing core gaming. People would take a problem with this, because core for nintendo had changed. So I created traditional core to refer to the kinds of games that used to be core for nintendo in order to make the distinction.
