Thanks for watching, remember to subscribe to catch future videos!
Did any of this data surprise you?
Yeah , the population change part did ! Majority of the portion is below 0.0 ,which means population is decreasing but as we see USA politics they are very concerned with their population and are decreasing immigrants but by the map we realise its decreasing.
Yes being from South Carolina, I did not know how bad it was, tbf I only lived there for a couple years.
Yes didn’t except California to have the highest life expectancy
I have watched how the states got their shapes. The upper pen was given to mich because of the Toledo war.
yes
Eastern US state borders: based off geography like mountains, rivers, etc
Western US state borders: R E C T A N G L E S
thanks weeb
at least its better then Maryland's borders
"i am a rectangle" ~wyoming
We have Thomas Jefferson to thank for much of that (straight line borders and rectangles)
Yeah thanks weeb... wait.
Maybe the NE more Catholic because of the Portuguese
Irish and Italians: "am I a joke to you?"
You forgot Puerto Ricans.
Was about to say that as one
His Portuguese bias is showing there xD
Lots of weird assumptions throughout the video like this one. His videos could be on a whole level higher if he did a tiny bit of research.
Haha. Yeah. Also assuming that California is catholic because of the Portuguese residents when they are actually less than 1% of the state’s population? This narrator needs to do more research.
Hawaii is actually majority Asian, so Europeans/Whites are technically the largest minority
I don't really understand the term minority. Recently minority has been seeming to meet anyone that's not white.
@@samlewis3869 minority usually means to be less than 50%
@@MinesomeMC I thought it would be the smallest group. Or in terms of minorities it would be anything below 40%.
Same with many states in the US, whites are the minority. CA, NM, ... Whites are expected to be the minority in the US in 20 to 30 years.
Yes Hawaii's population is majority Asian and Pacific Islander but white also has a high percentage something like more than 35%. Depends on how you look at the video's map. The map looks at the USA as a whole nation when it comes to minorities. If you look at just Hawaii alone then it is actually African American lol
I liked the Portuguese map. A nice little personal touch. I actually grew up in California near San Francisco and there were a few Portuguese kids in my high school. There had been a settlement in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. And they were descended from that wave of immigration.
I find funny how there are so many Portuguese immigrants in the US, France, and other non-Portuguese speaking countries while so many of their own colonies were left underpopulated (except for Brazil, of course).
There’s a bunch of Portuguese kids here in the NY area, especially north Jersey and westchester
> 10:10 < Portugal
Fremont CA born here. Just thought I would add that. Haha
Newark, CA had the highest concentration of Portuguese descendants in the US. That is reflected n the place names. The next highest was a town in New Jersey.
Ohio : "with God all things are possible"
Utah : "I n d u s t r y"
It would honestly make more sense if the two were swapped
Faith without works is dead.
Wait ours isn’t industry? Dang that’s wrong
@@imme6954 very true
Industry in the past meant "hard work". Only in the past 100 years has that meant factories.
I found an old globe in my middle school’s basement a few years ago when getting props for the school musical. It still had the USSR and the British and French colonies. The guineas were also grouped together
My school's current map was drawn by the time when it was built like, in 80s or something and it still has,
USSR
Czechoslovakia
Yugoslavia
Austrian-Hungry and alot more.
And, mistakes like,
Kinshasa instead of DR. Congo.(DRC's capital)
And, Germany is divided.
Definitely, the painter was drunk.
@@ryanscotts9633 Kinshasa is one of the names for the DRC. And, I do hope that you know Germany was split up during the cold war.
That’s crazy
Should've grabbed that, could be worth something some day.
@@tcm1010_7 I tried to ask the teacher if I could have it after the musical. She said she'll think about it but never got back to me :(
Population density makes the Catholic numbers look misleadingly small on the map. The US is actually more Catholic than it looks-- it has the fourth largest Catholic population in the world and more than any European country. Plus, Roman Catholicism as a denomination is actually bigger than any individual protestant denomination, at around 25%, with Baptists coming in second at around 15%.
I'm from Rome, hi. I think that catholicism in the USA is Spanish in the South (California, Florida, New Mexico) and Italian, Irish, polish in the north. By the way italian Americans are 80% from the former kingdom of Sicilies.
@@lucaschiantodipepe2015 You would be right, my grandparents are actually from Naples!
And the reason Louisiana is Catholic is due the French influence there
@@lucaschiantodipepe2015 I’m New Mexican and there are Catholic Churches everywhere
That being said the only 2 'Christian' religions with a population birth rate above 2.0 is Mormonism and the Amish/Mennonite religions. Theres maps that show that if it stays like that theyll take over in the next 200 years. The Amish population actually doubles every 25 years thats how high their birth rate is.
“Caucasian people are the largest group in every single state”
Hawai’i, with a 60% Asian population: LMAO LOOK AT THIS GUY😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣
Continental states
Its below 40%. Natives arent asian
37% Asian. No need to exaggerate
Native Hawaiians are not considered Asian
I'm from Hawaii and I can say that we have a lot of retirees and senior citizens (perfect climate to retire). So that could be a reason why when you factor the number of older people the average may be higher than others states. That and we have a lot of Asian people who came from countries that normally have high expectancies (e.g. Japan).
"Live Free or Die" from New Hampshire is my favorite.
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus hahahaha you're crazy
Can you do this but for the world?
My head hurts thinking about that
US gov't funds alot of this kinda data research, finding the same on a global scale is a bit harder.
@@TheJttv yea that's what I was thinking maybe it could work if we look at the EU and a few other nations but most nation don't have the time or the funding to bring data in this scale

Bruh, he didn't make the map
Being from South Carolina, I am surprised our water usage is so much higher than our neighbors in NC and Georgia, which are more populated (and Georgia just as hot). Heck, we seem to lead the east coast.
My best guess is that it's because we have more golf courses per capita than any other state, and golf courses require enormous amounts of water to maintain.
It's because they whole state reports rather than being broken down by county. Same with North Carolina. That map in particular is severely broken. The low and high usage areas in the west are largely due to population density being low with high agriculture, or exceedingly low population density in those counties.
@@Markle2k You forget, low population density with high agriculture in the desert.
Must be all he golf courses in Myrtle Beach! lol
South Carolina and Georgia are not in the top ten for Golf courses per capita. The Great plains states and great lakes states all have more golf courses per capita. Basically every one of the least dense states has more golf courses per capita then most states because there is often one golfcorse per reasonably sized small town. So mapping golf courses per capita over population density would be an interesting map. Also yes many states have more golf courses numerically when they have a greater population sizes numerically, but increased land cost often limits courses per capita numbers.
@@viewer-of-content As I understand it, South Carolina leads in golf courses per land area.
There’s book actually on how states got their borders “How the States got their shapes”
I forget most of them but usually states were divided by parallels just because that easy or they are decided by rivers or a mix of both (rivers that become straight lines). Also some planning occurred especially in the central-western states to make the states equal at that point. For example Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota all have roughly equal latitude height. And them together with Colorado and Wyoming have similar lengths too.
Have that book - pretty interesting!!
It was also a tv show
I recommend that too...it really explains things. East coast was based on colonial charters that were set with partial geographic knowledge and sometimes overlapped. Additional states were carved out with some sense of balance with neighbors...Alabama and Mississippi being best example.. almost exactlty the same size. Prairie states similar-sized rectangles, mountain states similar-sized rectangles. Natural barriers and local politics explain the inconsistencies. CA and TX were powerful enough to enter as large states.
ND and SD were created to steal political power. 4 senate seats outvotes NY.
This exactly. The 37th parallel divides UT, CO, & KS from AZ, NM, & OK. And then the entire western border of NJ is defined by the Delaware River. And like you said, both sometimes. Like between NY & PA where most of it is the 42nd parallel until it reaches the Delaware River and that becomes it's border. MD, DE & PA are the result of the Mason-Dixon Line
This was very interesting. Utah’s motto, Industry, while mundane on the surface, goes back to early pioneer attitudes of hard work and perseverance. It also relates to Utah’s nickname; The Beehive State.
I'd like to echo this sentiment. Most of the time, words change meanings over the years and sometimes new words are invented. So Industry was used because no other word existed at the time to better describe what they were trying to communicate, and now it means something a little different. My favorite example comes from one of the editors-in-chief of the magazine Popular Mechanics. Surprisingly it features next to nothing about actual automobile mechanics as we'd interpret the name today. As stated, it's a tech magazine and the word technology just didn't exist in 1902. However, anything that was high tech at the time, was mechanical, and referred to as that. So the magazine was named Popular Mechanics. If it was created in 2002, it'd have been named Popular Technology as this new word better describes its content and the old word means something a little different.
Woah, the last map really drives home how incredibly young the US is. I grew up having picnics in a castle ruin dating from the 14th Century, visiting museums from the 15th and earth works and burial sites dating all the way back to the Bronze Age, all within 20 miles of my home. And in European terms, my country is fairly young xD
I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect. I fully appreciate that static settlements are in no way "better" than a more nomadic way of life that doesn't leave as much behind, at least in the form of buildings. I admit that my rather flippant comment referred specifically to the history of the US as a country rather than the history of the continent itself, which is of course long and fascinating, and most definitely stretches all the way forward to this day.
And yes, I'm aware that not all cultures developed metal working in the same stages as we did in Eurasia. I simply referred to the Bronze Age because that is how we count time here in Finland. Had I been talking about the history of a different continent, I would have used terminology that would be better suited to that specific region's (pre)history.
Again, I apologise. I meant no offense.
Yeah on the global stage we're super young. The 250th anniversary of our independence is the 4th of July in 2026.
The USA is like a teenager who thinks they know everything.
@@FuglychickThe United States has one of the longest continuous governments in the world.
@@graceneilitz7661 what is your point?
Utah's motto industry is based is our symbolism of the honeybee - that hard work is a chief virtue that made our state. I do not think it is weird at all.
Hard work, and economic cartels, maintained under the guise of religion.
@@brianarbenz7206 Seriously, the moment I say the slightest thing about my state, some a**hat is just waiting to sling some insult at us. What the heck did we ever do to you?
@@WasatchWind dude you’re talking about Utah like you personally had a role in establishing the state and how it turned out and have to defend its honor. Like yea maybe he shouldn’t criticize the state on some random video about all the states, but there’s some truth to what he’s saying regarding religion and it’s influence and power in the state it’s not that big of deal though you’re taking it so personally which leads me to think you just don’t like people criticizing the state you live in regardless of context.
@@TG-jv8lf It's because it's my ancestors that did it - I acknowledge I take things like this personally because any word about Utah is usually negative. Every depiction of our state in pop culture is such. I'm sick of it.
@@WasatchWind Personally I think Utah is pretty rad. I hiked an awesome mountain in Lake Point, most gorgeous place I’ve been in the US
“How the States Got Their Shapes” is a good read on a similar topic.
Yes it is and also the history channel series on it is very interesting and very entertaining
As someone who lived in RI for 16 years and now living in MA, I can definitely say we have a ton of Portuguese people. I love the food so much flavor and spice.
Newark, NJ too, but only the west side of it. It's incredible how different the west side of Newark is to the rest of it. The Portuguese side is fun and safe. The rest is a fucking cesspool.
Aren't there more people of Spanish Descent than Portuguese?
@@shaydowsith348 probably, but I know more Portuguese people
Also a lot of Mexicans are Catholics and in the southern of border of the us we can see this influence

Nice video... A few years ago the History Channel made a show called how States got their shapes... Could have been interesting but they turned it into... welcome to this city in Texas which is famous for BBQ. Then talk about amusement parks and Bs. Nothing to do with how they got their shapes
The series is based on a book that goes over every border in every state
Can you make a similar video about Europe? I think it's pretty interesting to see how different we are on this small continent.
I love your videos btw. they're entertaining, and helps me to understand more geography and history.
"Chinook Jargon" is an English phrase to reference a mixed/creole/trade language used in the Pacific Northwest, which is based most heavily on the Chinook languages; the word "jargon" is literally an English word.

One of the best things about living in Hawaii for three years was the Portuguese bean soup. Literally the best thing since PB&J!
The city I live in, vallejo, is considered the most diverse city in the US (2012). My high school had a lot of Latino, Polynesian, African American, and Asian people. It’s the coolest thing about the town in my opinion. I was really happy to have friends from different backgrounds.

Shoutout to the Bay Area, the whole region is super diverse. My town, San Leandro, is like that as well. It makes it difficult if you travel to other parts of America and realize that not everyone is represented in some states or cities.
@@chicagoakland I can relate, that’s how I felt moving to Ohio for a few months. I actually had my first racist cop story from driving around Illinois at the age of 10 with my family.

Small correction here
"Chinook" is the language, and in this case "Jargon" is a synonym for "language". It's just what the settlers ended up calling it - especially because early in Washington's history, Chinook became a very prominent trading language, melding with English, with some words from Chinook being used by locals up to today. Cheers!
"Jargon" is an old English word for "gibberish". Don't try to equate it with an aboriginal language or you will be doing that language a disservice.

Hey General Knowledge,
Since you're Portugese, would you sometime like to explain why there are so many Portugese people in Luxemburg? I read that it is the second most spoken mother tongue in Luxemburg, even more than French and German! :))
Both of those countries were world powers before the British and French, maybe economical reason from the past...

"That part of Michigan in the Wisconsin Peninsula."

I was joking about conquering the Upper Peninsula in the name of cheese on a call just an hour ago. Really, there's no reason for that to be separate from Wisconsin, yes it's culturally distinct from Southern Wisconsin, but no more so than Northern Wisconsin is.
Me: finally a General Knowledge video without Portugal in it
General Knowledge: 10:12
There is a show that aired on the History Channel " How the states got their shape" went into the way borders were created. A lot had to do with natural resources and physical boundaries. It was interesting.
Fascinating - thanks!
I have a grandparent from Hawaii and she’s part Portuguese. But yeah Hawaii surprised me about percentage of Portuguese
Wait till you find out the ukelele is actually a Portuguese instrument, very slightly changed by the hawaiians, called cavaquinho.
The state musical instrument was inspired by one brought there by a portuguese immigrant worker.
Technically the descendants of Portuguese in Hawai’i are from the Azores. If I am not mistaken, this was not part of Portugal when they arrived in Hawai’i during the sugar plantation days.
@@4_the_health_of_it You are absolutely mistaken.
Firstly, the bulk of Portuguese immigration to Hawai'i came not from the Azores but from Madeira.
And secondly both archipelagoes have always been part of Portugal, as they were both uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived there and got swiftly integrated into the kingdom and populated.
@@jorgecandeias I agree that most likely came from the Madeira rather than the Azores, but both are autonomous from Portugal. While they were colonized by Portuguese (and the Spanish - from the Iberian peninsula), they were always considered independent and they have since gained full independence since the 1970s. Most the inhabitants to these islands (Azores and Madeira) were there long before the concept of a Portuguese kingdom. And, thus these islands had long established themselves as somewhat independent before the rise of the Portuguese kingdom.
Should be noted those "Portuguese" in the northeast US are mostly Azoreans, and rather be called that.
Monolingual Portuguese speakers have a better grasp of Spanish than of the Azorean accent. 😂
They're still Portuguese. Don't care what they'd rather be called. Azores are part of Portugal.
I go by both but I've never heard someone prefer "Azorean", wouldn't be wrong just kinda weird.
extremely interesting to me and my family members. Please do more
Thx for all of this info. I enjoyed this video.
You deserve more subs
I've been to Hawaii several times and I'm always surprised at how many native Hawaiians I meet have a Portuguese ancestor(s). I could be wrong but I think the Portuguese settled and interbred with the natives sometime in the 19th century.
well done like always
Really fascinating!! Thanks 👍!!
I think its supposed to be "Jargon" as in the word meaning like "special words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group and are difficult for others to understand."

Something that is sort of interesting is that the American Hispanic population in most of the US is primarily of Mexican extraction. The folks that live in Arizona or New Mexico or wherever either came from Mexico or had parents that came from Mexico or ancestors that came from Mexico at some point over the last several hundred years. And I suppose I'm probably due back to when those areas were actually physically still part of Mexico. In Florida rather uniquely, the Hispanic population is overwhelmingly of Cuban extraction. There's always been a large population of cubans in Florida, but following the Cuban revolution in 1950 the number exploded, and then I got another bump during me Mariel boatlift in 1980. This is interesting because there is a fundamentally different cultural background between two groups. The food is very different for instants, the accents are different, and this occasionally causes tension because tourists will come to Florida and assume everybody is Mexican because the only Hispanics that ever met our Mexican, and the Cubans don't like that very much. They're very proud of their own identity. There's no ground significance to this, it's just interesting I guess
Some folks of Mexican descent didn't come from somewhere else, but rather settled these areas when they were part of Mexico and never left. They didn't come to the U.S., the U.S. came to them.
Peter some americans, too.
Cubans vote Republican
Mexicans vote Dem.

Do a state by state video, especially the Kentucky Bend, the only way to get there is by going to Tennessee.
I grew up in the Kenelm Winslow house in Marshfield, Mass about 10 miles north of Plymouth. It's generally considered to have been built in the Mid/Late 1630's
8:12 You SHOULD make a video about how the state borders were drawn, because a lot of them have incredibly interesting stories.
In the east, early colonial charters establishing borders were very vague, and often conflicted. Vermont exists because both New York and New Hampshire claimed the area, and the settlers caught in the middle got fed up and declared independence. Maine was an exclave of Massachusetts, and something of a colony of a colony. Rhode Island started when the Puritan settlers kicked a guy out of Massachusetts. New Jersey and New York fought in the courts over places like Staten and Ellis Island until the 1970s.
The first colonies also claimed huge swaths of land going west, which helped lead to the Revolution when Britain banned western expansion after the Seven Years War. These claims didn't come to fruition, and the lands became territories. As more people moved into those areas, Congress and territorial governors slowly began dividing up the land somewhat arbitrarily, usually for the purposes of not creating states that were way too big and making sure all states were connected to transportation routes, like the Mississippi and its tributaries and the Great Lakes.
Of course, there are exceptions. Michigan and Ohio both wanted a strip of land on the western shores of Lake Erie called the "Toledo Strip", and almost went to war over it. Ohio was granted it, and Michigan got the Upper Peninsula as a consolation prize.
That's interesting and thank you.
Do you know about the Kentucky Bend?
It has a odd border and the only way to get there is going to Tennessee.
There is a whole television series about this. "How the States were Formed" on History , I think (?).
Shout Mississippi. We really just continuing to lead the nation in yet another bad thing. Adding that to the never ending list
What is the use? You can't do much after 75 years old anyway.
Great presentation! Thanks
Very interesting video. I particularly liked the ide of dividing states by rivers and natural landmarks. Although, I am originally from Michigan and hesitate about giving up the UP, it does make more sense for Wisconsin. But if that were the case, would the Mackinac Bridge have been built?
I live in north Alabama, the life expectancy is actually 80
While in the area around Selma is about 71
It really is because of most of Alabama (except for north and beaches in Alabama) have bad living conditions

Ohio should have included the serpent mound formations, built around 300 B.C.E.
To be fair to the vid/map, it does state oldest buildings. I am not sure if the serpent mound formations and other such archeological sites would be considered such.
I feel like the most badass state motto is Kentuckys "United we stand, Divided we fall." Motto.
It's like a motivation for Americans and overall humanity that if we don't stop being so divided and in conflict, were destined to fail. But if we come together, we prosper.
I love these kinds of maps!
The Northeast is very catholic Bc of Irish and Italian immigrants, while the Southwest is catholic because of Mexican and Central-American immigrants
Also because of the proximity to Québec. More than 10% of New England's population is of french canadian descent... over 500 000 french canadian moved to New England looking for work during the second half of the 19th century.
Not because of immigrants but because of the Spanish who colonized the Southwest and built tons of Catholic churches/missions in the 1500 and 1600s. Remember those Catholics where here way before the US
imagine how much older the life expectancy illinois would be without Chicago

The water usage map is interesting for my county. Since the military base isn’t counted towards our population it seems like we use a lot more water than the rest of the state, but in reality it should be on par with the rest of the surrounding counties.

The states with the longest life expectancy are mostly blue states. Blue states tend to spend more on soci programs than red states. Also, California has a large Hispanic and Asian population and when combined all together it accounts for it's very high life expectancy.

Regarding the age expectancy in USA ,males have a age expectancy of 76 whereas females have a age expectancy of 81 years , literally a difference of 5 years i think thats why it ranges from 74 to 81 maybe due to the gender as well.
Women tend to have longer life expectancies right? But that's such a big difference
The official name of the church since April 26, 1838 (for over 183 years) is, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Mormon was an ancient prophet that compiled a book called The Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. Members of the church worship Jesus Christ. I recommend you update the map data to reflect them with Christian status. Thank you
I was coming to the comments for this exact purpose. I know he is just going off the map data he found, so I don't blame him, but "Mormonism" isn't really a thing as the official name of the church states.
Still, cool that we get mentioned as 1 of 3 "types" of Christianity.
No
There was a 30 part series on the history Channel called "How the states got their shapes".
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_States_Got_Their_Shapes
There's also innumerable videos about that subject.
10:15. No, it's not Portuguese immigration that made the East coast catholic. It's Irish immigration that did it.
The History Channel has already done a multi-episode documentary on how the States got their shapes. It's really good and it also explains how the Water & Winter Wonderland State of Michigan obtained it's Upper Peninsula; # The Toledo War.
President: HEY Michigan, leave Ohio alone!
Michigan: But we want Toledo!
President: Give it back and we will give you an "upper" peninsula.
Michigan: OK
Wisconsin: WHAT?
Ohio: Did we win?
@@markr8755 Now that’s LOL funny! Even I gotta wondering how the heck Michigan was awarded such a large chunk of land in exchange for such a dot of real estate. The reasoning behind that decision at the time must have made all of the rational sense in the world; something that is incompressible today unless deep study is done on the transaction. But then again, look at some of the other land deals that forged this great land of ours: The Louisiana Purchase and the Alaska Territory purchase, the Republic of Texas to name a few. Mind blowing by today’s thoughts I think; maybe even more so than we think back then, too.
8:15 - The History Channel aired a series called How the States Got Their Shapes in the early 2010s.
It's geopolitical, it's logical and fair, it's by natural borders, etc.
Had a question. You are Portuguese, so is your favourite footballer Cristiano Ronaldo?
If it's No,then who. But If you don't want any controversy you my say it's him
Btw, it is Cristiano, not Christiano
@@franciscoricca8309thanks for the correction.
No matter the spelling, what's important is people get what it wants to convey
Why the color yellow on the map for Asians and Black for African americans....just kidding, I'd color it the same way lol.
3:20 This is the first time I've ever seen a demographics map on which the color code actually correlates with actual skin color. Makes it easier to read.
My first time watching you're content. Really good content.
My first time, too, and maybe last. I'm slightly disappointed in the replies.
The large number of Catholics in the Northeast is due to Irish, Italians, and around NYC also Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. Elsewhere in the country, it's due to various Hispanic groups, most notably Mexicans. Re small number of Jews, I think that there are only something like 12 million Jews worldwide, of which around half live in the U.S. In a country of over 300 million, that's not a lot.
Best comment. I was surprised at how high the percentage of Jews is in some states, because they are so few in number.
3:17 americans view on race will always be too funny for me xD
Should do a video on Delaware's border. It's super weird in places, like the circular area at the top (apparently mapped out using a church as a focus point) and the Delaware wedge to the west.
Do you know about the Kentucky Bend?
You have to go into Tennessee to get there.
I went to see the old Cahokia Courthouse when I went to Kaskaskia, Illinois earlier this year to see the Liberty Bell of the West. I didn't know it was only 16 years older than the Alamo.
Why did you lump Mormonism in with Christianity?
They are a sect of Christianity
@@kaiserreichempireofohio834 They are not Christian. They use the same words, but use their own meanings for them. They do not meet the historical, theological, academic or sociological definitions of "Christian".
@@tejloro oh
Eh, I’m not buying it. Mormons self-identify as Christians, and they fit the dictionary definition, which is sufficient to categorize them as such, golden plates and magic underwear notwithstanding. It’s only a debate among other Christians, and like any internecine religious dispute over who’s a TrueFan™️ and who’s just a fair-weather frontrunner-such as whether Reform Jews should be considered Jewish, or Sufis should be considered Muslim-it comes down to distinctions that are ultimately pretty trivial, largely political, and not really relevant in a broader context like this.
@@IdliAmin_TheLastKingofSambar You can say what you want, but their 'self-identification' is based on different definitions. If I identify Ukranians as extra-terrestrials, then if I have Ukranian blood in me, I am an alien. But my 'self-identity' is irrelevant if no-one else shares my definition. The fact is, the Mormon definition of most Christian terms is at odds with the Christian (and even most non-Christian) definition. Therefore, they are not Christian, despite what they 'self-identify' as. That's why I referenced the historical, theological, and sociological definitions of who/what a 'Christian' is... They don't fit anyone's definition of 'Christian' except their own. That excludes them...
