Why is it that all or at least most of the religion & spirituality questions are addressed to the Christians ?

And these too are asked by the Christians. There is some mention of the other Abrahamic faiths, but the other spiritual paths that have existed longer than the Abrahamic faith are left out. When they are mentioned, it is in very frivolous &/or derogatory manner. Any specific reason?

    Many christians enjoy bringing attention to themselves, no matter how negatively that attention reflects on their lord.

    I'm so confused right now as to what the purpose of this forum is. I thought it was to ask questions about things that you want to know the answers to. See look, it's right up there at the top of the page: "Ask..." "Answers..." Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what it's about.

    So to answer your question, if a Christian has a question about Christian doctrine or some such thing, maybe interpretation of a particular Biblical passage, they ask the question here, and then supposedly other Christians will answer the question to the best of their ability, based on their study and perhaps life experience.

    Also, a bunch of Atheists will then answer the question with "God doesn't exist, you're stupid, KTHXBAI."

    That's how Yahoo! Answers works. Or didn't you read the instructions?

    People generally don't know about us enough to effectively disparage us. Also, we leave other people alone for the most part, so why would they bother us? They certainly have no reason to do so. When questions are asked of us they are generally flooded by christians who claim we are worshiping something that we know does not exist. They're also ignoring the fact that, generally speaking, we don't worship anything at all. Pagans and Heathens do NOT grovel, period. It's demeaning to us and an insult to the divine that gave us strength and intelligence in the first place - and therefore quite rightly expects us to use it.

    Because Christians have the truth. Muslims come on this and although they do not accept the answers, they get an answer. But when I go on a Muslim site to ask a question they have listed all the questions they will answer, my question is never among the prepared ones so I'm out of luck. This just means that their most educated in Islam can't handle the truth. This is the response of a religion not founded on the truth.

    Because if it's not one of the main 3 religions, then it's considered less than and is probably in the Mythology and Folklore section. So simply because billions of people have the same delusional beliefs then it is considered greater than others.

    There are a lot of US users here, and Christianity is by far the largest religion in the US, so that might be contributing to a lot of it.

    Jesus seems to be the center of most Questions in this section I suspect because He is a question that demands an answer.

    If He Is, then something must be decided and if He isn't, something must be decided.
