Or I should say, people of European descent (white people). Why are they still christians? Now that we live in nations where we have freedom of religion, why do we still embrace a spin-off of a Jewish religion and a Jewish Deity?
same can be said for arabs, negroids, etc.. who also had a jewish-created (islam, xtianity, mandeism, b'haism, etc..) forced on them.

For one very simple reason - it's the truth.
And Christianity is not a spin-off of Judaism. Jesus said, "I did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it." This was prophesied about in the Old Testament in the book of Jeremiah, chapter 31 verses 31 through 34 -
' "The time is coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the Lord. "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the Lord. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord', because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the Lord. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." '
God is telling us, before Jesus was even born, that He would establish a new covenant that was not like the old covenant, which is the Law that Jews live by. Jesus Christ came and established that new covenant, when we were no longer bound to the Law but God ". . .will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." Christ's sacrifice took away the need to live by that Law, as we now live under grace.

I am of European descent and I wouldn't say that Christianity was "forced" on me at all. First Jesus Christ came into my life (heart)and THEN I embraced His Jewish heritage. Seek G-d and He will show you the truth.
Also, if you know anything about Paul the apostle, he persecuted the Christians as a Jew. It wasn't until Jesus Christ came to him and asked him, "Why do you persecute me?" that he became a believer and was willing to die for his faith in Christ. Read all of 1 Corinthians - very good!

Christianity has been on a steep decline in Europe for awhile now, it's really not popular there anymore. Several European nations are fully secular.
The United States though is uncharacteristically religious for a civilized nation, we have a huge percentage of christians (of all races and ethnicities), and it shows in how far behind we are in science education and social progress.

Maybe you should ask the people who educated you on other people, and you can ask then how they keep those white sheets so clean out in the woods, too..
"negroids"..... What kinda false science term is that?

We still follow it because the God of Abraham is the truth. He is the one true God that created earth and humanity as well! If there were no truth to Jesus, his minsitry wouldnt have lasted 2000 years and stronger than ever!

I'm under the impression that most of them aren't... Surveys saying that ~4% of Sweden is religious, 20% of France, etc.

That's a tough one. You really got me thinking. You stumped us stupid Christians with your intellect and big words. I bow to your superior and higher intellect. Oh wait, I figured this one out.
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE!
Don't patronize me junior. I eat non-believers like you for breakfast in debate. Your arguments are lame and old. Go somewhere else and peddle your garbage.

I see that you really are a demon, just like us who are called third of mankind. If I knew you were not, then I would say that you aren't. But if I said you are, why do you bug the believers out there, they just might come and kill you alone.

Negroids??? Little old-fashioned, don't you think??
I chose Christianity not because my slave ancestors were Christian, but because I wanted to be.
