Some people talk of America itself as if it is a religion.

All who learn everything Jesus teaches and study the God of Israel knows 100% the Jehovah witness religion belongs to Jesus.

Why do you think all three spring up in America?

What do all three have in common?

But this thread is on American religions.

Surely it makes people pause realising they are in an American religion?

Did you know that a Christian means a disciple of Jesus?

Why not just do what all religious people seem to do around the planet? Pick (or be indoctrinated) the one you prefer and claim it to be the correct one. Some people will even just claim to be a disciple of a religious character and then believe themselves to be correct, so you can do something like that as well if you want.

The important part in all this is to claim correctness for the one you do choose. What religion you actually choose matters not, being able to convince yourself that you know the unknowable is what really matters.
You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU

It is sad that in an age of freedom some people are enslaved by the nomads of old. - Marco

If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb
