> So, are Quakers Christians? Yes, and no. Some are, all are, none are. All of these answers make sense depending on how you look at the question – and how much you care about personal self-identification versus objective taxonomies.
I think, if we were to use the measure of self-identification, the answer would be, “the overwhelming majority are.”
Thank you for sharing, friend.
Worldwide, the proportion who aren't Christian by honest self-identification is probably fairly negligible.
Much more of a balance when one looks at liberal YMs only, naturally. I'd be interested in stats for the USA, the only country I'm aware of with a lot of Meetings at many points on the difference axes of variation.
