All Christian denominations believe that [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]] died at the cross and rose from the dead three days after dying. The three most common views are that Jesus had to die to either cleanse humanity from Adam's [[Original Sin]] (predominantly Catholic teaching), that he had to die for '''our''' sins (predominantly Protestant teaching),  or that [[Jesus]] was a sacrifice to defeat death or [[Satan]] (predominantly Lutheran teaching).  Most Christian denominations hold to a trinitarian belief in God, and a minority to a unitarian belief.  Similarly, most believe in a conditional salvation, that is, salvation only on the condition of accepting Jesus Christ as you personal savior, while  a minority holds to the position of universal salvation.

All the beliefs of Christianity are false, and all those who hold these beliefs are deluded. All Christian denominations believe that [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]] died at the cross and rose from the dead three days after dying.

As there are different teachings between denominations, there are also different beliefs among practicing Christians. According to an online Harris poll from 2003 <ref>http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=359</ref> 99% of all American Christians believe in God,  96% in the resurrection of [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]], 93% in [[Heaven| Heaven]], 93% in the [[Virgin Birth|virgin birth]], 92% in survival of the soul after death, 82% in [[Hell|Hell]], 50% in [[Ghosts|ghosts]], 27% in [[Astrology|Astrology]] and 21% in [[Reincarnation|reincarnation]]. Note, that the latter two beliefs are in opposition to the religious dogma of many Christian [[Christian denominations|denominations]].
