A friend tells the story of a conversation with his gym teacher in high school.
"What religion are you, son?"
"I'm a Christian, ma'am."
"Well, I'm a Baptist, and those two are very close!"

I'm going to try to believe that he took Jesse to mean he was a part of the Christian Church/Disciples of Christ tradition. I really, really am.
Whatever gets you through the night, Darrell.
Hehe.
That was probably it...
I've often seen the word "religion" used interchangeably with "denomination" in Christian circles. Interesting.
reminds of a time someone at work asked me what "religion" I was. I said "I'm a Christian." Then they were like, "no, but what RELIGION are you?" and I was like, "I'm a Christian, that's my religion." I knew what they wanted but I wasn't gonna give it to them. But after a couple more exchanges like that they finally wore me down and I sheepishly said "...I'm a methodist."
Yah, that's totally weird. I always wonder what they think they mean by the word.
well i always gave them this replie when they asked me ignorantly over and over what religon i was..i would simply say..."ummmm...you mean waht denomination am i....i am lutheran" and then came the what is a denomination..and id have to educate them on how denominations are like branches on a tree that come from the main truck i.e "idea".
It's right up there with my other favorite, "Are you Catholic or are you Christian?" Argh!
"Neither, I'm an Episcopalian." Ha.
