Christianity is seperated from other faiths(religions) because it requires a belief and faith in a trinity God. It requires a relationship/love with God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit who being seperate beings are one.
This faith/belief that relationship with the almighty is attainable seems to seperate christianity from other religions in the world today who view "god" as an unreachable or uninterested being. It seems many religions devote themselves to ritual and "works", but could never view their god as friend, lover, or father.
One major problem with christianity today is the fact that 65% or so people in America call themselves "christians", but they are not followers of christ and the example that christ left for his followers.
I have a friend who lives in Turkey and he said that it is the same way in the area of Turkey he is living, but with Muslims. He said the majority of the people say they are muslim because of what they were birthed into, but they are not dedicated to the religion by fasting, prayer, study, ect...
Some call christianity the "hippie" religion because it embraces the thought that God is a loving and merciful God and that we in our frail humanity, can love back this God and this God will accept this sort of love.
Some even go as far to say that this emotional need in humans is what draws them to this "hippie" religion. The need to love and be loved. This is possibly why christianity is the most embraced and longest lasting religion in the world.
These are several observations I have noticed and feel free to comment on them or add your own. Please don't pollute this thread with how you hate muslims or how you hate christians or any other religion as that is not the purpose of this thread. Go find another bridge to troll.
