Does American christians not read bible?

[–] captainlezbian 2 points 5 days ago

Not all Christians are biblical literalists. It's not uncommon to treat early Genesis as metaphors containing a general truth but given to people who wouldn't really have the understanding or language to really get the whole "you share a common ancestor with those trees" thing

You’re still making a no-true-scotsman fallacy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

Those people who call themselves Christian and don’t believe in Creationism appear to make up the majority of all people who call themselves Christian.

It doesn’t matter that their interpretation of the Bible doesn’t align with yours; they are still classified as Christian, and they don’t believe what you are asserting that Christians have to believe.
