You may not be a member of any denomination, but if you are actually a practicing Christian, I know enough you should be attending church services to be following your doctrine. I have requested Christians to state an affiliation. I can tune into your views. But if you fail to state a denomination, I am going to consider you Roman Catholic as it is the largest church in Christianity, though debatably the oldest with the Armenian, Alexanderian and Antioch bishops. And everything from there will be considered Catholic doctrine. Deviate from it I will identify you as an apostate and perhaps heretic.

Glad to see Catholics are proud to identify. The sufi Muslim also (got to ask, aligned toward sufi or sunni?). To the one upset about being omitted, sorry and welcome. Now, I'm definitely going to have to familiarize on your faith. The ones that don't align with a denomination apparently are making one of their own. Okay too, but should be stated. My problem though was that when someone simply says they're Christian, they imply they represent all. And they do not. And yes, I left out faths like Copts and others. Just not very present in the US. Hopefully, through stiring things up, we can get a little more understanding between the religions and divisions.

Well another failed attempt. Great people responded. But my target was to get a few who like to attack other religions and denominations to identify themself. They appear to take the stand of representing all Christians and I know that is not so. I would like to think I am at least trying to get some understanding though between religions.
Maybe an athiest referee?

Might be suprised how much I identify with beliefs. Not a bad answer here. The too that might think me arrogant, I was. Intended to stir up a few Christians that express hate of others. And I apologize for using Roman Catholic. I did so, because I pretty well knew they would not care for that identity. As to AWANA, I'm familiar with that, "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed." A criticism of Catholics. You need to speak out more here. I admire your beliefs and especially tolerance.

3 Armenians. I'm going to have to study up. I know of it, a small bit of the early history, but literally nothing of beliefs and practices. Sorry again for blowing steam. I was trying to get a small few unidentified people that seem to hate all other religions and a lot of denominations to identify themselves.
