I don't know. I sometimes wonder the same thing. Is it because they think they can sin as much as they want as long as they go to church and confess because God will forgive them as long as they believe in Jesus? Those people mess it up for those good Christians that do live a life of love and GOD.

About 33% of the world is Christian and a 20% of the world is Muslim. The only other largest religion is Hindu, 13%.
So, not everyone claims to be a Christian, only majority of America, because majority of Americans are Christian.

Not everyone claims to be Christian. In fact, most of the world is not.

Everyone DOESN'T claim to be Christian. There are lots of other religions, and lots of people who claim no religion at all. Hate doesn't come from religion (usually) it comes from the person. Those that claim they are committing violent acts based on Christian or Islamic teachings are not following the most basic principles of love that both of these religions teach.

Some people do NOT claim to be christians. And it's because of Satan and sin why there is so much hate and crime in the world.

Everybody doesn't claim to be Christian. There are a number of other religions in the world with lots of supporters. As well as a few non-religious beliefs.

If there was not more love than hate we'd all be dead. Cheer up. People like to bash religion, especially organized religion. But for all the fighting and pain caused there is an equal if not more good done in the name of Christ.....God....Allah...Buddah...etc
Some people just get fanatic and they make the most noise, thus get the most media coverage.
I am Christian and I know hundreds more. I don't know any who hate with the likes shown on the news, glorified by stupid movies, and ignorant posts on web forums.

Not everyone claims to be a Christian and everyone that does claim to be, isn't. That is why there is so much hate.

I wasn't aware everyone was claiming to be Christians. Many claim to be religious though but they are not one in the same.

claiming to be christian doesn't mean your christian... america has a higher amount of christians than most places so don't let the christian population in america cloud your judgement on the rest of the world... (If only everyone was christian)
