Christianity has ceased to be a religion but has become a culture of its own, Turkish Environment and Urbanism Minister Erdoğan Bayraktar said at a recent conference hosted by the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) Women's Group.
"The biggest three countries in the world are not Muslim countries. China, India only the U.S. believes in a single God. Spirituality and religious feelings are weakening," Bayraktar said.

Well if our Secretary of State can define what true Islam is, I guess the Turkish Environment and Urbanism Minister can define what Christianity is. < /sarc>

Religion is man’s attempt to reach God. Christianity is God’s attempt to reach man.
It’s not a religion, it’s the truth.

Amen. As a matter of fact, Jesus spoke out against the “religious”.
To: marshmallow
When a Christian does evil he is violating the tenets of his faith. Hopefully he repents and asks for and receives forgiveness.
On the other hand it appears that Muslims who do evil are often following the commands of their terrorist mentor named Mohammad. They don’s seek forgiveness they seek to do more and more evil.

As a matter of fact, Jesus spoke out against the religious.He sure did! The new testament teaches us all we'll ever need to know about "religion". It's full of fakers and frauds. wolves in sheep's clothing leading lambs to slaughter.

Christianity has ceased to be a religion but has become a culture of its own, Turkish Environment and Urbanism Minister Erdoğan Bayraktar said at a recent conference hosted by the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) Women's Group. This clown obviously is no Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the most respected and admired Turkish leader of the last 100 years. As someone said at one point, "he dragged Turkey, kicking and screaming, out of the Dark Ages into the 20th Century."
Muslim fanatics, reversed all that progress recently, in a frightening few years. That demonstrates how close muslims, generally, are to that cliff over which those murdering, barbaric animals, ISIS, have so clearly demonstrated the last few months.
I have always, even as a teenager (56 years ago) failed to see that islam, through its total violent history, without exception, enjoyed practicing the worst qualities of homo sapiens, murder, mayhem and plunder, almost exclusively.
To call that a religion is a joke.
Criticizing Christianity in the same vein has to be right up there as a classic case of insanity.
On the other hand, perhaps islam evolving into a (peaceful) culture may be the transformation that might save it from disappearing from the face of the eart altogether.

I read only the head line but it looks to me like this thing which used to be called Christianity has changed into hundreds of religions.
