Isn't it a personal view that it isn't christianity? It's more of an opinion that fact. The fact is that it is a form of christianity and one of the oldest, perhaps the oldest. Don't really know if the ortodox church is older.
Anyway if that isn't christianity then protestanism, atleast the swedish church, isn't christianity at all. They don't really believe in the bible or miracles. As one priest that I have contacted on several occations to see how christians here in sweden think. He said that christainity and religion is about love and the mysteries of life. Sounds bullshit to me but that what he described religion and christianity to me.
