The term used in your last paragraph is very important. Christianity is not a religion, it is a faith. These are two very different things. Most people think they are interchangeable just as they think democracy and republic are the same.

Most people are ignorant.

So do you believe that Hinduism, and/or Judaism and/or Islam (among many others) are “faiths” as well?

I believe this term (”faiths”) applies to many others, and not just Christianity.

Absolutely. You have to go to the Bible to find the real definition of religion:

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
