America Is Not A Christian Country

Nope.

Unitarian Christianity does not accept the doctrine of the Trinity, and they consider Jesus a holy man, not a deity.

A lot of fundamentalist Protestants do not consider Catholics to be Christians.

There is a long standing debate whether or not the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka Mormons) are actually Christian.

Conservative Protestant acquaintances of mine have tagged along to an Orthodox service and they were pretty shocked and could barely tell it was a Christian service.

You really do not see that vast kind of diversity in Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or other world religions. That was my entire point, full stop.

Nothing about a Quaker meeting and a Pentecostal revival looks remotely similar to each other.

so what?......what about their faith confessions?......don't they share the Apostle's Creed?......as do the Catholics, the Mormons, the Seventh Day Adventists, the Baptists and the Emerging Church....

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church*,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

incorrect......Judaism varies from Hasidic, to Zionist, to American unorthodoxy........Islam ranges from contemporary liberal unorthodoxy to the types killed in stampedes at Mecca and Palestinian terrorists who who bomb school buses for Allah.......

logically, by definition, any group which denies Christ is not Christian........

Christ is the Greek word for Messiah. Being a Messiah does not require one to be a divine deity, to be God himself. There is a long tradition in Christianity, going back to the earliest days of the faith, of emphasizing Jesus' humanity over his divinity.

Of course, many of them were murdered and persecuted as heretics by the orthodox strain of the faith. But they are still around today. I have attended Unitarian services.
