          Okay, Wiccan is not a real religion. That's something teenage girls pretend to be to piss off their parents.

                3. If they sincerely believed in religious tolerance then I suppose they'd give them the Hagia Sophia back. Don't you think that a truly tolerant nation would let the Christians have their own building back instead of desecrating it?

                  Well last I checked in Turkey they weren't erecting monuments to Basil the Great, but then I could be mistaken.

                    Leaving aside Ben's usual unique take on the truth, the position of the Orthodox Church in Turkey is somewhat precarious. The church isn't outright persecuted, but there's a lot of interference from the government, which refuses to recognize the EP as head of the worldwide Orthodox church (they say he's only head of the small Greek church in Turkey itself). To be fair, the Patriarch is seen as a politically divisive figure, and he irks the Turks considerably. He tends to agitate on behalf of Cypriot Greeks, for example, and Turkish-Greek relations are naturally somewhat complicated, given their history.

                    Anyway, while we'd like to have the HS back, a somewhat higher priority would be to stop the Turkish government from slowly squishing the office of the EP into a pulp. Turkey is probably not the best example of tolerance of Christians by Muslims; I don't know what is, perhaps one of the ridiculously rich Gulf states that worship Allah in the form of oil revenue.

                      Actually, before Christians inhabited what is now modern-day Turkey, polytheists lived in that region. You see, human history goes waaaay back before Christianity came into being.

                        Islam is polytheist?

                          Both are Christian under any but the most restrictive of definitions.

                            Chabad is headquartered in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Nation of Islam and various other new world black Muslim religious movements are centered in the US.

                              Mormonism considers us all to be embryonic Gods, and JWs do not recognize the divinity of Christ. Mormonism even has a new prophet with a new revelation.

                              If they're Christian, so is Islam.

                                No. There are plenty of ways to define "Christian" where Mormons and JWs are "Christian" while Islam is not.
