DivideByZero14 Sanguvixen The two Prominent religions in the USA are Christianity and Catholic.
Well...Christianity is the group that draws the most attention to themselves, and they tend to be the ones bad-mouthing Atheism/Agnostism more than other religions. Umm...wouldn't it be Protestantism and Catholicism? Christianity, I believe, is an umbrella for both. Sanguvixen So I'll say that would be the reason we speak of them the most. Plus...Christianity is heavy with the Bible Stuff...and any religion that follows the Bible is prime prey for being picked apart.
Face it, the Bible has more holes than a fence, and is a hippocrite wearing holy attire. If the Bible were a person, it would be put in a straight-jacket ASAP and whisked of permanently to a mental ward. What would you do if a person says "Blood for Blood" and later says "Forgive your enemies"....?
Why do the most violent of religions always have some sort of Bible?
I mean Christianity has the Bible, and thier past is a blood bath. Correct me if I am wrong but Islamists have the Toran.
Notice a pattern? Mormons have a book too although I am uncertain of it's name...and Mormons don't have a bloodless past either. I think it's not the book. I think that the book provides justification and backs up a not-so-benevolent leader(s), who interpret it to mean anything they want. The many Islamic leaders are constantly interpreting the Qu'ran to fit their own agendas, and turning their constituents against another leader's. The Pope and the Mormon leaders do the same thing. Obviously the crazy things a religious leader says are OK if he can manage to SOMEHOW back them up in the book.
Hmm...I might have gotten the terms mixed up. I've lived in several difference states, and most religious I see are Christians.
Hmm...According to Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant
Protestant is a break off of the Roman Catholic Church....and is a branch of Christianity..
Also according to Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity Christianity is the worlds largest religion. I would assume that would mean they have the most followers.
Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church It says that the Roman Catholic Church is a Christian Church.
So that all aside, I think your right. Christianity is an ambrella for many other religions...which is probably why it has the largest amount of followers. So I would think that too could be a reason we speak of Christianity the most....seeing as it is Prominent.
Isn't Catholicism a form of Christianity...being a branch of it?

That'd be the Qu'ran or Koran and the Book of Mormon. Mormons also use the Christian bible, and consider themselves Christian. Buddhists also have a book and it seems to me, thought correct me if I'm wrong, that they have not had as many religious disputes and wars. Their book is called the Surtras also sometimes called the Tripitaka (or something like that). Indeed, but I'm not sure Buddhism is exactly a religion, either. They don't technically have any god(s). It's a path for enlightenment, not anything geared toward reverence and worship of deities. Also, it's more of a personal religion than its more violent brethren; they don't hold anything against other religions. {Also, doesn't Sutra only have one R? I'm not sure..}
