The OP, as well as pretty much everyone here, as well as many Christians (probably) fall into what I will, in a pejorative sense, term "Mainstream Christianity". This can further be represented in terms of one of the more popular "Christian" publications - that is, Christianity Today.

The OP is just plain wrong here with their supporting arguments. There are more churches per capita because Christianity has been the prevailing religion in the US for the last 200 years.

Not only that, but UU (and some similar organizations) churches are called churches. They'd fall into the OP's mischaracterization of Christianity in this point, but if you've ever been to one, even as an atheist or whatever, you'd know they aren't Christian organizations ( ... )
