No surprises there, especially the Methodists, Anglicans, and 'reformed' Presbyterians. The 'non-reformed (read non-woke)' Presbyterians (a very large denomination) are a far different matter.

Of note is that those 'top four' supposedly christian denominations all 'officially' state that it is ok for their pastor,preacher,leaders can be openly homosexual.
And three out four of them state that 'homosexual marriage' is acceptable to their god. The fourth doesn't believe marriage for its pastors,preachers,nuns is allowed at all.

As always, might (numbers) does not make right.

Nor do their 'beliefs/fatwahs/affirmations' hold water when they are clearly against Biblical (Scriptural) teachings.

Narrow is the road, wide is the path.

Sidenotes of interest:
1. Methodists ALSO do not believe that Christ is the only 'way to heaven'. The counter to that 'theology' is from the New Testament, Christ's own words:

No one comes to the Father but by me. I'll leave the exact location of that pearl to better minds.

And No, Micro absolutely is NOT a 'methodist'.
2. The 'anglicans' are one of the main reasons that the United States was first populated by 'europeans'.
Their influence on our Constitution is most directly seen in our 'First Amendment'.
3. Muslims do NOT believe they have the same god. In fact their koran specifically teaches AGAINST any acceptance of the 'Triune God', the trinity, calling it evil. Yes, in other places in their koran they attempt to pass their god off as 'being the same'. They explicitly deny the deity of Christ. Current phrasing for the 'watered down muslim' is that Christ was only a 'messenger' of God - a step down from their previous attempt to pass off Christ as 'only a prophet'. But you are free to accept their 'colouring outside the lines' with their deceptions. However, remember well their term 'taquiya'. It's a perfect fit here. The muslims consider true Christians to be polytheists - so how, logically, can they possibly
also claim to worship the 'same One True God' as Christians ? Oh yeah, by 'agreeing' with christians that do NOT believe that Christ was God.

And yes, True Christians indeed do 'worship' Christ. He is God The Son. You can try wading through the proceeds of the Council of Nicea, if you wish. It really won't clarify the issue for you, but it was their attempt to do so. I find the Apostle's Creed much easier to understand. Believe it predates Nicea, certainly predates the RC church.

Re: “Unfortunately, that article is a lot of crapola.”
Hm. I thought you were a Methodist.

Grok says that a significant majority of Christians - including Methodists - disagree with you and mt. But I'll grant there is no consensus.

Muslims believe that they worship the same God as Christians and Jews. It's actually harder to figure out what Jewish people believe. Here's an interesting comment I found on Reddit: "Muslims and Jews worship the One God. Christians worship the God of Abraham, sure, but they also worship Jesus."

I am perplexed to this day how everything Jesus did occurred in the two years following his 32nd birthday. What was the Son of God up to for the 32 years before that?

Moreover, with all that he knew about the universe, how could Jesus have failed to share his important knowledge that the world is shaped like a ball... and that the Old Testament was wrong to say that the moon was one of two lights his Father had created in the sky? (The moon is not a light.)

His failure to discuss these things with his disciples and audiences over a period of years is utterly unrealistic. It's a big part of why the Bible does not interest me.
