I think it is hard to argue there is uniformity in Christianity when you claim Catholics are wrong, other Christian cults will claim you are wrong (including those dopey sodding Catholics) .... I think, like Adrian I believe said, that if someone claims to (and indeed appears to) follow the teaching of Jesus Christ then they can be called Christian regardless of they do it imperfectly or if they add little bits of this that and other things.

[SHRUG]I'm sure there are some who do already ... what does it matter? Typically though I would say rational atheists don't do this but no one claimed that being an atheist automatically means you can't be a divvy.
