→The Uniqueness of Christian "Faith": Some liberals pretend that faith exists in Buddhism, but it is actually unique to Christianity.
==The Uniqueness of Christian "Faith"==
==The Uniqueness of Christian "Faith"==
Some other religions have concepts that liberals pretend are similar to Christian "faith", but examining these claims invariably shows that no other religion has the same concept.
* Some branches of [[Buddhism]], such as the Jodo (or Shin) school popular in Japan, have a concept that is sometimes described as "salvation through faith". These Buddhists believe that devotion to a certain Buddha will allow them to be reincarnated in a kind of heaven, regardless of what sort of life they led. Their "devotion" takes the form of repeating a short meaningless prayer over and over again. This is very different from the personal relationship with Christ that is implied by Christian faith: "Christian and Shin Faith are exactly opposite."<ref>[http://www.seattlebetsuin.com/Is_Shin_Buddhism_the_same_as_Christianity.htm]</ref>
