Based on my observations of the USA, I see no evidence Christianity makes people more moral.

True, but I also see little evidence of Christianity.
If you don't follow Yeshua's teachings, you're not a Christian.

@basilfawlty89 Doesn’t every Christian believe they have the true version?

@Bumbles no. While the Bible is open to interpretation, there are some objective rules. Following Christ, the Apostle's Creed and the Commandments are a requirement.

@basilfawlty89 So, some Christians don’t think they are practicing the true faith? I doubt that. You’re defining a sin qua non of Christianity. My question was a little different.

@Bumbles perhaps, but if you don't follow Christ, how are you Christian? Same goes for Buddhism with Buddha, Marxism with Marx or any ism really.

@basilfawlty89 I’m nor opining on who is right, just that I have not met a Christian who didn’t think they were properly Christian. We do know that this issue goes back to early Christianity. The First Council of Nicaea was in 325. Who adopted the proper form of Marxism is a perfect analogy.

@Bumbles I know. I believe in ecumenism though. Especially with our Orthodox brothers. No one is "properly Christian". We have all sinned by our own grievous faults.
