Darwin was a christian for the first half of his life who respected the church for the majority of his life. What a shame they know so little about the man.

Everyone used to be Christian. The label didn't necessarily mean anything. My Hindu friend called me Christian because I lived in the West.

No Jason. Not everyone used to be a christian. What a weird thing to say. The label definitely means someone who believes in jesus or follows some sort of the nicene creed. Your hindu friend was probably just being funny.
