Christian vs Atheist vs Other Belief Systems

Let's start off by understanding that we all have a belief system. What I mean by this is that we all have a status of belief on why we are here.
  • Atheist - Believe that no deities exist and that science governs the origins of existence and the operation of the universe
  • Christianity - A variety of belief systems that generally contain Christ in their beliefs. Generally a deity created and governs the universe.
  • Other Belief Systems - Other belief systems are a combination of actually believing in a deity /deities / science.
  • Agnostic - A variety of beliefs commonly stating that there may or may not be a deity but have not settled on anything specific that they believe defines the creation of the universe or the operation of it.
OK so now we have a few groups defined. Within every group however there are always variations. First we can look at Christianity and see that there are a large variety of different varieties. Some examples may include, baptist, Methodist, Evangelical, Protestant, Mormon, Catholic, etc.
