That means the US Government can enforce law onto their beliefs and start taxing them right?

But it is a religion. In fact it's the most popular religion in the world with 2.1 billion believers. What are you talking about?

Who says it isn't a religion? It's what we practice and live by, so I'd call it a religion... When Christians say it's not just a religion, they mean that it isn't just something we do in spare time, or because we are just supposed to have one... We truly believe what we believe. Okay, when are people going to be done ganging up on Christians? Let me know so I'll feel safe on this website...

But it is a religion, if you tax them they will want to have more of a voice in the Government.

Christianity is not a Religion, it's a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The gathering together of Christians forms a Church/Fellowship, which is a non-profit group, thus qualifying for tax-exempt status.

Christianity is not a religion per ce. It is actually a relationship. It is a personal relationship with the true and living God, Jesus Christ. It is more than just a religion. Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Ca hrist?
Jesus Christ is the Only Way to Heaven!
In The Holy Bible in John14:6 “Jesus saith unto, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” He meant: I am the only way to get to God the Father and to heaven. I am the only truth you need to know to get to God the Father and to heaven. I am the only spiritual life available to mankind. In other words, I am the only true and living God. All other so-called gods are false gods. They are not real. They do not exist. They are Satan or his demons appearing to be gods. No other so-called god has any power to forgive, remove and cleanse men from all their sins and get them to God the Father and to heaven.
The Holy Bible in Hebrews 11:6 says “But without faith it is impossible to please him (God); for he that cometh to God must believe (have faith) that he (God) is, and that he (God) is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (God).” Parentheses mine!
I pray that, by faith, you will acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only true and living God
I pray you will believe all of this and, by faith, accept the fact that you are a sinner needing to be saved from all your sins and that the blood Jesus Christ shed for you at Calvary is the only way you can have all your sins forgiven, removed and cleansed and the only way you can get to God the Father and to heaven. I pray you will, by faith, acknowledge all of this and ask Jesus Christ to forgive, remove and cleanse you from all your sins and accept Him into your heart and life to live for Him the rest of your life. I pray you will, by faith, turn from all your sins and receive Jesus Christ into your life/heart today, without delay. Do that today.

According to predicate logic, false implies true, so yep, you're right. Other than that I have no idea what you're on about.

Wha ... ?
Who told you that Christianity is not a religion?
Or are you speaking hypothetically?
