I don't know if the way you speak, since it's a given I do not know you comes off like the way you write, but your responses seem to be a bit short and with a bit attitude, which you're entitled to. Secondly, it's totally fine that you disagree, I don't expect the masses of people to even agree with one thing I think let alone a bunch of things, but I can't agree w/your method of thinking either since it's contradicts what I've learned and believe about subcultures. See, you're looking at religion as a majority in your response to another religon which would in your idea make a smaller group (religion) as a subculture, whereas the school of thought I've been taught and that I practice looks at the USA as a culture, and the general idea of religion as part of that main culture, so christianity etc religions are subcultures. I really do feel that you will disagree with that lineage of my thinking, but that is the progression of subcultures in the teachings I believe in, not saying you have to think that way and it's great you don't that is what makes people different, but for the framework of my thesis that is how subcultures are being looked at. It is unfair to type one religion as major as you put it, in my opinion, to me religion as a general idea is a culture and the many religions are subcultures, like music lovers are a culture and there many types rock, pop for example and rock being a large subculture made many small subcultures, like hardcore, punk, emo, etc the list could go on and on. I don't know if this clarifies what I intended by my terminology of subculture, but I do hope it does.
