Christianity is the following of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Judaism and Islam don't follow the teachings of Christ.
Atheists say they don't believe (but secretly want to)
Agnostics believe but don't understand what or why
And last of all Creationist are not just Christians. Genisis is not just a Chapter in the Christian Bible It is a book in every religious order. Buddists Hindu, Islamic and Jewish faiths all speak of Creation as well as Native cultures such as the Navajo, Hopi, Inuit, Athabasken, Tlingit and Souix. So anyone really want to go down this road?

Judaism and Islam do believe in Jesus the person . Judaism does not believe he was the promised Messiah.Islam is about the same but choose not to follow.
Atheists are the fence sitters
Agnostics think everything was a accident.
Creationists are the rest. as each has its own Ideas and names for what Created everything.and what the reason for it is.

No, believing in Agnosticism is irrelevant. Agnostics do not dismiss the possibility of a divine being of some sorts, but do not believe that science or organized religions can solve such matters at this time.
Wow, this is just one really ignorant post....

Buddhists, being atheists, do not speak of "creation". Taoists do not either. And Christianity is the following of Biblical teachings, some ASSOCIATED with Jesus; with no knock down proof that he even existed, much less said what is attributed to him.

"Atheists say they don't believe (but secretly want to)"
This is what SOME christians say when they can't rationalize why we atheists are happy with our lives. They cannot fathom WHY we don't believe in god and feel compelled to preach to us til they are blue in the face. In all reality, they are jealous because we don't live our lives in fear of some imaginary hell. THEY secretly wish they could be like us.
See how it feels christians to have someone tell you how YOU really feel?

In my experience atheists are just as likely to follow the teachings of Jesus than Christians, they don't believe that he was devine or a god exists, thats all.

Yes, many roads claiming to be the one true pathway to eternal reward. Maybe a question peoples of religion should ask themselves, why do I deserve some form of eternal reward? Bottom line, everyone is more like-minded than they like to admit.

saying that atheists say they dont believe but secretly want to is as absurd as saying that christians say they believe but secretly they dont want to.
maybe it would be more exact to say that most christians say they believe but behind doors, at home, their behaviour is more mundane than divine

a lot of Atheists are perfectly fine with not being religious. I for one am happy not believing. It lifts a huge weight off of my shoulders and actually makes sense.
