It is our policy to classify faith groups with the names that they use to describe themselves. For example, the Mormon leadership and laity devoutly, sincerely, and thoughtfully view themselves as Christians. So, we include them in that category. We are using each group's own terminology. Describing the full range of beliefs within Christianity Christianity is not a monolithic, homogeneous religion.
Different denominations teach a wide range of beliefs.
Meanwhile, different members within denominations will often hold beliefs which are at variance from those of their own denomination. By describing all opinions on a given topic, we end up describing many viewpoints that run counter to a given reader's view. For example, consider personal salvation . It is perhaps the most important religious topic to many conservative Christians. Many conservative Christians follow many passages by St. Paul, who believed that one is saved by first believing in Jesus' resurrection.
