The Country Club in my hometown didn't allow anyone that wasn't a WASP to join. Does Christianity, and all other religions serve to divide people?

Only those who cannot be tolerant. Those people tick me off though. Please, don't judge every religion (or religion as a whole) based off a few bad experiences with bad people. Not everyone's like that. There are, thankfully, still some good people left in the world, with true spirituality.

Everyone is prejudiced against something until they learn better.
If you're asking whether all Christians are prejudiced against Jews, the answer is no, not all. Those who are, are so blind, because Jesus was a Jew.
Would your dad agree to go to the local paper and have an article written about this incident? Perhaps he may not want to join the country club anymore, not now anyway, but a story in the paper might get the country club to change their ways. If they do change their ways, even if the change is by shame, it might avoid this happening to someone else.
I'm sorry for what happened to your dad, best to you both.

I know that you have your mind made up and that this may come as a shock to you but some Jewish clubs do not allow Christians to join. Go figure.

Yo...how did you arrive at the conclusion that all Christians are prejudiced because your father was denied membership at a country club?
Repost when your father has been denied entry into a church for being Jewish. Then we'll discuss it.

Yes. All Christians are prejudiced.
Generalizations work for everything. Are all children of jewish fathers who want to join country clubs foolish?

Whoever rejected his membership was not Christian. By the way, what is a WASP besides a darn bug with a wicked stinger.

I am Christian and Native Indian, man is man to me, no matter the color nor religion, for it is not my place to bother them about such items.
But the "church" does do many evil items and brainwashes many on the thoughts of the few. This is why I do not attend, 1 of many many reasons, for I see nothing but faults in the church. And even YAHWEH himself warns us of the church, for Lucifer dresses as an angel in white.
To me....these are wise words to follow by anyone, of any race of any language and any color.
Great Chief Tucumseh
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the Great Divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, die like a hero going home.

All Christians? No.
A few Christians? Yes.
Any group of people has its good and bad.
Edit:
To answer your question, tagan, WASP is an acronym for "White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant". It is used to describe people who follow Protestant Christianity, are white, and can trace their roots to England.

My friend was not allowed to come to church with me because she was black and I was white. Thats when I learned that Christians are not bigots and those who act that way aren't Christians, they are hypocrites and Father God and Jesus don't know who they are. There are a great many denominations which are not Christian but claim to be. Jesus does not know who they are.

the golf club near me din't let women in either. i think your father should make a stand, women did near me, you will find they dont have any strength in their convictions, just want a 'boys club'.
it seems wrong that any effort on your farther's part is required, but these idiots will never change unless you tell them. get a newspaper and your local representetive involved.
but as groucho marks said; "i wouldnt want to be part of any club that would let me into it!"
