"We could say "Catholic Christian" or "Lutheran Christian" or "Presbyterian Christian" but it is awfully pedantic to most."

Why don't you just say Christian? I see multi-culturalism has hit the religious scene. Just like people calling themselves African-Americans, latino-Americans, and asian-americans, as a way to distance themselves from America, we now have religious people doing this by hyphenating Christianity. Catholic-Christians, Baptist-Christians, and so forth. It really is a sad day when man comes before Christ.

When asked what religion I am, I always start with "Christian." Then the person asking the question usually says something like, "No ... what religion?" So, you see, we end up saying Catholic anyway, so why not just go ahead and say it to start with?

I'm sure if I was in a non-Christian environment that would be my first answer.

Here in America people are usually more interested in knowing what type of Christian one is than they are in lifting themselves above the rest and trying to claim the title "Christian" for their very own as if no one else hadn't claimed it first.
