Why not just have people type their religion in the key word if it is important to the subject.. Again, this is not to classify people. It is to classify articles. If you think that the article would be of interest to Evangelical Christians, then select that topic when you post it. If you think it would be of interest to both Evangelical Christians and Catholics, then select both Topics. If the article is about oh, say, Baptists and Catholics breaking off talks after 30 years, you might select "Evangelical Christian/Catholic/Ecumenism" as topics.
This is not labelling people; this is classifying articles. You select the topics for the article based on its subject or who you think would be interested in it. That's all.

I'm outta here until Saturday night. I'll tally up the final count of votes then. If someone posts questions, I'd ask that someone else here try to answer them. Thanks!

Good work, I vote yes. Although I think the list is a bit long, lets give it a shot.

Need to add New Age in somewhere (Eastern or other non-Christian) and maybe an etc., after Eastern. And, now that I'm thinking about Baptist, there are so many types of Baptists. Some are not sola scripture or inerrantists. Some have gone the way of the liberal mainline churches. I'd almost rather see us as "Other Christian" or take "Mainline" off of Protestant and put us under Protestant (though you will have a fight on that one since some do not consider us protestants at all), or give us a category all our own "The Baptists". The latter is what another website on Church history chose to do. Or, you could say "Mainline denominations" and "Non-mainline denominations".

A qualified yes vote. I too would like to see the Unitarians moved to other Christian and would like to see other Christian changed to just "Other". That would catch Christian and non-Christian groups that don't neatly fit into other categories and avoid the argument over whether or not the group is Christian (at least in the category listing- you'll get plenty of arguments in the threads themselves).
To: PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain;angelo
Yeah, and they got all the money and guns too! :) Maybe that is why they are so peaceful? ;-)
angelo, I vote "Aye." Thank you for all the work you put into this.

Angelo I posted a prayer request here on this thread with a bump to the regular prayers..ALMOST no response...Later Posted on the News forum and lots of prayers turn up with no bump..I will never post anything here that I want others to see..and that is the bottom line..this is a black hole!

this is a black holeI agree, Mom. This seems more obvious as time goes by. Separating Religion from News is nuts.
Why can't everyone just let things be? We're all grown-ups.
Or else what's "Free" about Free Republic?
To: angelo
Vote: Yes.
thanks for your effort, Angelo.

I agree, Mom. This seems more obvious as time goes by. Separating Religion from News is nuts.And it is still NEW..just wait..too bad FR is no fun like this..I used to like to scan and read.I read lots of stuff that is now on the general forum..I never go there now that it is seperate..I never go to the Vets forum, even though I used to read alot of Vet stuff,..and the upshot is the news forum is a mixed forum any way
I wish that they could have one fourm as an option that is a unified forum for folks like me that enjoyed all of FR

Thanks. But Orthodox Presbyterian might "self-identify" as "spiritual Israelite." Would you put him under "Jews, other"? I believe heartily that my Christian faith is a culmination of OT revelation. Does that make me "Jews, other"? It's my self identification. There is a specific "test" for traditional Christianity it is called a creed..If a church does not adhere to one of the Christian creeds that are not Christian

OP, if no one else has told you today, let me be the first; You're beautiful, Man!.Thank's, you're a wonderful crowd. I'll be here all week!! Don't forget to tip your waitresses. ;-)
Best, OP
To: angelo
Your #48:
As far as the Mormons go, they self-identify as Christian, so they do, IMO, fit more appropriately in "Other Christian" than in "Other non-Christian". That's right. Thanks for not letting the Calvinists decide for other faiths where those others should be classified. I am glad you are asking the Unitarians here at FR where "Unitarian" should go.
>> I couldn't really justify setting up a separate topic for LDS, when I didn't do it for Lutherans, for example.
I understand.
You have done a fine and balanced job on a difficult assignment.
I vote Yes.
