How do you define what a Christian is? Belief in the divinity of Christ? You think Hillary really believes that? Or some other definition?

My guess is Hillary yes/TRUMP no, but that's not a question that we are charged with answering as mere humans.

I have no reason to believe that Clinton is anything but a fairly typical Methodist. Trump is a nominal Presbyterian who enjoys some cultural aspects of Christianity, but cannot really be considered a Christian.

If they say they're Christians, then they're Christians. Just leave it at that, and don't feel the need to assign your own definitions to what they say are their beliefs.

I assume like most middle of the road Americans they are nominally Christians who don't actively disbelieve but if really pushed would probably come closer to being agnostics, rather than believers in the divinity of Christ.

Clinton is by all accounts pretty religious and seems to be a "true believer."

It's sad how we have to use this as a measuring stick for offense, given the numerous examples I can name of Family Values Chrustians and their greatest hits.

I'm not sure if they believe in God, but they both certainly are Christians.

Nonsense. The finest Christians I know don't believe in God. Who are you to question their identity?

I am a Christian who does not believe in God. Jesus was a nice guy who ran around and did some nice things for his community.

He was trying to be nice to people and get others to relax.
