The Bible says Satan believes in God. I would think a large portion of the world population believes in God. Belief in God does not make one a Christian.
Erm, I dont know if you were just confused in the situation.
Recap,
You said,
This is based on the misconception that being a westerner is synonymous with being a Christian. In fact, most western countries are far from Christian. The EU is reluctant to put a reference to God in their constitution, many in the US want all government buildings purged of references to God, want the pledge taken out of schools, etc.
Based on that I said,
That doesn't neccesarily show that they don't believe in God, maybe they have the understanding that 'Leave on to Ceaser which is of Ceaser and unto God that which is of God' or something like that, to mean that things should be without the mention of God in one area and in their personal life then they can have God.
So you raised the fact most western countries are from Christian, then you said the EU is reluctant to put reference to God...
So in reply to this I said, that not mixing the Goverment with Personal life does not show anything i.e. it does not support you statement that 'most western countries are far from Christian' so when I said believe in God, in context that it means Christian, as that was what we were talking about.
So in brief, when the fact that the EU does not reference to God was brought up, I just said that this did not show that those people did not believe in God, i.e. that they could be totally Christian and still be of those who seperate the goverment from personal life.

Eesa.
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.
We must first of all know that the entire Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption! "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
a scrip that discriminating itself, that must be kind of phenomena.
if I'm not mistaken, it's called circular reasoning
I wonder does Koran also address itself?
