First I would like to thank the asker for his nice way of introducing the question, we do need such civilized ways of dialogue from both Moslems and Christians, and I hope that my answer would offend no one at all and if this happens with out intention this is my apology in advance. \nI believe that the main reason behind such kind of practice among most Christians is due to their belief that Jesus PBUH was crucified for their redemption, and to make my point of view clearer I would just cite the following example: \nlet us imagine that in some country in this world the government has declared a test for people  for the period of one year to check who is a good citizen and who is not, and during this 12 months time people who abide with the rules and regulations would be highly rewarded, but at the same time no punishment at all for any kind of violations and crimes, robbers, killers, traffic violators, smugglers, … etc,  will be forgiven for their mistakes and sins and would be treated equally with good people who didn't sin or violate the law and also will be rewarded. Here I have some questions:\n1-What is the percentage of the people who would abide with the law?\n2-Do you thing that it is fear to treat both parties equally?\n3-And the most important, would this test have any sense of logic at all, I mean what is the issue if all will be rewarded?\nConclusions:\n1-God can never hold such test because He would be playing or mocking at us (praise be to Him).\n2-It would be unfair trial and meaningless.\n3-If the result is known from the beginning that every body would pass so no need to hold the test.\n "Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between! \n\n If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing(! \n\n Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us)". \nHoly Quran.\n\nWe Moslems believe that Jesus was not crucified and that it is all no more than a fabrication from some one to digress Christians from the straight path.  But how this happened? When the Jews ran after Jesus to capture him and put him to death, he refuged to a cave and the worst man among them followed him up inside the cave, God left up Jesus alive to heaven and made the face of that man similar to Jesus' face, when he came out of the cave he was surprised that people who was waiting out side the cave just captured him and crucified him while he is screaming "I am not Jesus" but no one believed him and that was his punishment in this life for trying to kill Jesus. \nCh-4,V-157-159\n That they(the jews) said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.\n Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\n And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them).\nHoly Quran\n\nMay God guide us all to the straight path.

lol. You realize that Christians do that everywhere. Even in their own country. And it's because their religion teaches that they should do exactly that.

Perhaps it is due to the increased choice people have in belief systems rather than disenchantment with a single religion.\n\nEvery generation has considered the following generation and their environment to be less respectful, less moral etc etc\n\nPeace out

Because like a lot of Christians, it's hard for them to grasp the concept of 'other religions'.  Gods forbid they be wrong.  The fact that Pagan religions are over 5000 years old and have over 2000 religions seems difficult for some to understand.

The same is in all other religions.  It's just how people treat each other.\n\nNot all churches are like this, just as not all people are likke this.\n\n"The petty think the whole world is a petty place."  Honore de Balzac, Father Goirot

Christians have always labeled people with different ideas and beliefs as pagan, savages, etc. etc.\n\nMany Christians have an honest desire to help people, but most just can't accept that they might be wrong. They think people who don't go along with the Christian movement deserve to burn in hell.

Because most of them are religiously arrogant

The majority may be Muslim, but I've met plenty of Christians, too, particularly among the Lebanese-American community. And the Christians I've met among them don't take too kindly to ignorant people constantly assuming that they're Muslim. They're Christian, and have been so for generations.

I think that most Christians are good and do positive things. But then, I think that most people strive to be good and do positive things. We have all sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. No one is perfect.

Only the christian sects evangelize, with the exception of Catholics.  Good Christians do care for others souls but through my own personal experience, most should practice the "remove the board from your own eye, before removing the mote in your neighbors".  I myself cannot stand to be preached at.  I feel that any religion that has to push itself onto people to prove themselves to be right should look at 2 non-evangelical religions for evidence that it is not neccessary: they are the Jewish faiths and true Islam (not the militant fanaticism).  They have out grown Christianity as the largest practices religions.  However the oldest is that of the Pagan sects.  It has continued to flourish and grow in spite of oppressive evangelical religions.  Why? because we keep to ourselves and just practicing being the best we can in our daily lives.  Realizing that we must be good to ourselves before we can do good for others, and without religious overtones.  That is true good works, when it is done because it needs to be and not in the name of a religion.

People who are only religious tend to be that way.\n\nIt is not so with true Christians. The only problem is that there are so many religious people out there giving the true Christains and Jesus himself a bad name.\n\nIt was the same way in Jesus' time. Jesus constantly rebuked the religious people of His day. They fought all of the time. But Jesus himself was not like them at all. \nEven still, people are still flawed, but Jesus is not. HIs love is perfect and unfailing. He loves you like crazy, no matter what anyone else says or does.\nGod bless.

This is a perfect example of what I dislike in a certain kind of "Christian."  While they are rarely more intelligent or better educated than average (usually quite the reverse,) they have the audacity to presume that others need their "wisdom."\n\nOrganized religion has caused many wars and a great deal of strife in the world.  It has a negative global impact exceeded only by that of greed and overpopulation.  We non-believers are doing just fine without it, thanks.\n\nBlessed Be, and have a nice day.

Because they are too lazy and closed minded to actually think things through properly.\n\nMost people would rather plaster a tag on everyone that actually consider the fact that we are all individuals.\n\nSomeone answered a question under religion by saying Christians are lazy and sheep-like, but the truth is that many non-Christians are just the same, they'll follow the crowd rather than making up their own mind.  God created us as free-thinking individuals on purpose, and while some say it backfired by allowing evil to enter the world, the fact is that God has many many followers all over the world who have all chosen to follow him, rather than just blindly allowing themselves to follow the crowd.

Well as a Christian I would argue that not all Christians are like that by any means. Sadly like all religions there are charlatans who take advantage of people and compel them to do terrible things, (Pat Robertson calling for the assasination of Hugo Chavez, for example) and distort religion for their own sinister purposes. These particular 'Christian' leaders (Robertson, Fallwell, Swaggart, Baker, Dobson, ect) contradict the original teachings of Jesus Christ on almost everything. But I hope you don't lump ALL Christians in with them. To be honest they would probably do the same thing to Jesus now that the Pharisees and Saducees did to him in the 1st century: they accused him of sedition (calling him an enemy of Caesar), accused him of heresy (for not sticking to their rigid, burdensome, and unmerciful traditions), and eventually killed him. So by no means are all Christians fanatics, many of us are decent, respectable people who simply wish to practice our faith  without infringing on others' beliefs.

Because there is something seriously wrong with all people who consider themselves conservative christiians, and any other religion for that matter. No matter how high and mighty they think they are, everyone is flawed, and religion causes war.

Because not all Christians are like you. Have you read some of the questions and answers that your fellow Christians have given on this site? The small minded insults that get tossed at people who don't follow Christ are amazing..and horrible. It is people like that, who unfortunately come to represent the Christian group because they are the loudest, that make the whole concept of organized religion unsavory to me. \n\nThere is no doubt in my mind that there are good people within that faith. But there are also lots of loud horrible ones who keep coming back time and time again with their hate. Until that subsides, I don't think I could ever see Christianity as a truly 'peaceful' religion.

This is a complex question but in short I think that most people still cling to the idea of us being a christian country because to say otherwise would indicate that we are a faithless nation. I think that the majority of people in the country still believe in God even though the traditional ways of worship have declined drastically.
