I'm going to have to disagree with that :x)

Christianity isnt about belonging to any "religious organization", but about the
teachings of a particular person.  Many (possibly many, many) people are
Christians without belonging to a church, and to some it's actually a point of
pride to put "spirituality" before "religion".[1]

Er.  I had a point.  ...  Ah, that point being that while many/most Christian
churches require baptism for their members, not all Christians belong to such
churches.


    *Muke!

[1] In what is possibly the most amazing inversion I have ever seen, there is a
church nearby here whose sign--not one of those adjustable-letter ones, but a
big printed one with a logo and everything--proudly proclaims the church is
about "relationships, not rules and rituals".  To which I say: ceci n'est pas un
church.
