Many people say they are Christians, but have they really been saved by the Grace of God? A true Christian does not go around putting Him down. They will up lift His name, and praise Him. When Jesus saved me, He made a change in me. My desire is to serve Him. Sometimes, i wonder about these so called Christians. Most of the time, they are the ones who hurt me the most.

Maybe the people you see are the tares that Jesus spoke about. You know, counterfeit Christians who have been put here by the Devil.
Matthew 13:36 Then having dismissed the crowds, Jesus went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field." 37 He answered and said to them: "He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 And the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the evil one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire, thus it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who work iniquity, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Tares are poisonous weeds that look just like wheat until it gets time for the harvest and then it's easy to tell them apart.

Hate to burst your bubble, but you won't catch me putting down my Savior.
Claiming to be a Christian and actually being a Christian are two very different things.
If one is a Christian you will be able to tell by the fruit they produce. Are they acting in a Christlike manner? Loving and kind? If not, I would have to wonder if they are really born again Christians.
Only God can judge our hearts.

Because all have sinned, and need God's grace through Jesus... We also need to be careful to "judge" who is a genuine believer in Christ or not... when in doubt share with them the gospel... Let's be faithful to love like Christ- and we'll leave the separation of the goats and the sheeps to the only true Righteous judge...

If by "him" you mean god, I've never noticed Christians putting him/her/it down. But they will put each other down, oh yes! The various Christian sects like each other approximately as well the Sunni and Shia Muslims like each other -- that is, not at all.

how do you know who's,who, and what they believe are you taking a survey,and why are the people that don't believe so worried about what we Christians think or do, if you don't believe it shouldn't bother you , i think you nonbelievers or so afraid that we are right and you 'll have to ether change your way of life,or you just don't want to be proven wrong, so you are all very scared,very and usually when you are afraid you will do things to draw attention away from yourself, so no one will know how you really feel
