   Christianity is a Faith, Not a 'religion'. Putting up a Christmas Tree is   
   religious practice, one of very few I'm into.   
      
   And Christianity is Totally Different from All other faiths, in fact there's   
   No comparison.   
      
   As for "The Little  Drummer Boy", that's more about describing some   
   important conditions related to the Faith rather than about a specific   
   person.
