Just like Pxian means Progressive Christian.

And while you may have explained away your reasons for saying xians put country in their top three, it doesn't explain how you still managed to contradict yourself, prior to my asking for a source. Up to that point, you made a generalization about a group of people without identifying any sources to back up that generalization. So I responded in kind, asking why you made that assumption but then turned around and said that you don't want to assume something about an entire group of people.

Because I'm not assuming anything about Christians. You THINK I'm assuming something about Christians in general, but I'm not.

My assumption that Atheists place science on a pedestal was an assumption, saying that Christians tend to place God, Family and Country as their source of emotional stability and happiness is not an assumption. It's an observation that is grounded in reality. The only assumption here was that you and others already knew that. Apparently you didn't. But like any discussion it's not necessary for me to site every single source for every single statement I make. If you take issue with something I say, THEN it can be addressed, just like we did.

It'd be far easier for you to simply amend your assertion to:

Some, mostly American, types of Christians put country in their top three sources of emotional stability and happiness.

Nor would I expect you too. That didn't happen here.

Yeah it kinda did.
