I understood what you meant. What I was saying is you cannot accurately box a group of beliefs that all people have in common. For example, take Christianity. Within Christianity you have a denomination called Baptist. Within the baptist you have free will baptist, Arminian baptist, Calvinistic baptists. Now, to separate one of these groups, lets separate the Calvinistic. Within Calvinistic you have the moderates, the stricts, and the reformed. Within each of those sub-types you have more, and more and more, until it beats down to what the individual believes. Essentially, anything pertaining to faith should be left to asking an individual, and not grouping people to fit a type.
