Christianity is pretty busy religion. Based on interpretation, it can be a strict lifestyle or a strict business. Compared to other religions, Christianity doesn't seem to be taken as seriously. Is it the society we live in, or the fallacies found within Biblical text?

Debate.

Yes and no. It's not taken very seriously on a day to day basis, but should Christianity fall under attack, things would be a completely different story. I, personally, hate organized religion. I hate the idea of having to congregate to worship, hate how all these different denominations of Christianity all push different beliefs on you. I've actually taken interest in my class "The Bible in Western Culture," and we've started reading the gospels, learning about old Christian texts, the histories, etc. Wow I always go off on a tangent.

Anyway, I think the two billion Christians revere their religion, but don't necessarily feel they need to maintain it's sanctity. Because of that, plenty of people have figured out ways to profit from people feeling obligated to partake in religious actions, i.e. buying bibles, religious paraphernalia, anything to make you seem tolerant and understanding in this age of hypocrisy.
