About Christianity:

There are millions of religious web sites on the Internet. And a great majority of them promote their version of Christianity.

About 75% of American adults identify themselves as Christian. In comparison, the next largest religions are Islam and Buddhism, whose memberships total small percentage of the adult U.S. population.

There are at least a thousand of different definitions of what a Christian is. The definition used by public opinion pollsters and government census offices is: A "Christian"  includes any group or individual who seriously, devoutly, prayerfully describes themselves as Christian. Under this definition, Christianity includes Roman Catholics, Southern Baptists, Jehovah's Witnesses,  Mormons, United Church members, progressive Christians, and even a small minority of Unitarian Universalists, etc.

We show the diversity of Christian beliefs: from those held by believers today, to the beliefs of the very early Christian writers of the 1st and 2nd centuries..
