Christianity

Christianity is a religion in which events are claimed to have
occured but which can never be proved. Those who practice it
live by different morals than are preached by the most holy

unlikely to have occured. The fact that Matthew is alone in
writing of the resurrection of the saints leads us to believe
that certain writers of the Bible had differing views on
christianity.
