I hear ya on that. But think about it; aren't most people in your area Christian? That's the case here (eastern USA), but more than a few people in my area refer to "my Higher Power, who I chose to call God." That's pretty inclusive in my book. I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to JC as their HP, but if they did it wouldn't really bother me because that's their prerogative. My Higher Power is the Aum, the everything. But I often use "God" as It's name because that's universally understood. And I am most definitely not religious.

Just sayin.
