At the very least Christianity is a belief in Jesus Christ or his ideas, often called a religion or a type of mono-theism although not all believers or followers of Jesus Christ's ideas claim to be or agree with being called religious or spiritual.Christian atheism. Wikipedia. It is the world's largest religion, with over 2.4 billion followers, or 33% of the global population, known as Christians. Its main document is the New Testament, which references points of doctrine such as salvation. “We should bend to the great task of reinterpreting all the Christian traditions…and since it is a question of truths which are anchored deep in the soul….the solution of this task must be possible.”-Carl JungAccording to Wikipedia, "Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology."

In this context, faith refers both to the believers’ act of trust and to the content of their faith. As a tradition, Christianity is more than a system of religious belief. It also has generated a culture, a set of ideas and ways of life, practices, and artifacts that have been handed down from generation to generation since Jesus first became the object of faith. Christianity is thus both a living tradition of faith and the culture that the faith leaves behind. The agent of Christianity is the church, the community of people who make up the body of believers. [Matt Stefon — Encyclopedia Britannica, as late as 2011]
Om. I often get asked if I am a Christian, and- as if I were talking about a beloved woman I am in an undefined relationship with– I tend to say, “well…its complicated.”  I was born into a Jewish family and converted unthinkingly to Christianity when I was around 8 years old.  As I grew up I gradually lost all interest in religion until I encountered Zen Buddhism, lived for 6 months at a Zen monastery, and had experiences in meditation that convinced me beyond doubt that an eternal God exists. These days I believe in the unity of all religions and of a single nameless Source they each symbolically express.  Yet in spite of this I have pictures of Jesus in my car and next to my bed.  I read and love the Bible perhaps more than any other book, frequently attend churches, often dream in Christian symbolism, and sometimes refer to God as Jesus when I pray.  My friends can all attest to the fact that I annoyingly quote the New Testament all the time. So am I a Christian?  Like I said, its complicated! But after much reflection I now say yes, but not exclusively. Christianity particularly moves me, but as a son of the One True God I may equally be considered a Muslim, a Hindu, or a Jew.--- Jeffrey Rothmanhttp://jeffreyrothman.net/jungian-christianity-thoughts-on-how-jungian-psycology-influenced-my-views-on-religion/
