"Sorry, I wouldn't say your statement is likely to be based on solid research. There are always going to be a few denominations that say that they are the only true Christians, but to characterize "many" Christians in this narrow light is probably a stereotype."

I don't really see myself as having a narrow view but you have explained why you think that about me. As I said "many Christians" see other denominations or churches as less than or not as good and in some cases not saved because of their brand of "Christianity". "Many" is by no means "Most", and it seems "Most" is how you interpreted what I said?
I am not a statistician, but I based my comments on direct observations and life experience. If I got specific and said "50% of Christians.." then I would be way off with no solid ground to stand on.
It seems you have taken what I said as a slam or derogatory remark towards Christians in general and it is not at all what I intended. I just could see the point the guy was making and found it interesting and figured it was no harm to anyone that he calls himself a "Christian Atheist".
Even Islamic people have a respect for Jesus but view him as a prophet, a spiritual man with good teachings.
