Characteristics of Christianity

There is the question, "If it were illegal to be a Christian, would there be
enough evidence to convict you?"

I am in business, and virtually all my customers are Christians - not
cultural Christians (similar to someone who is Jewish by birth but doesn't
practice) but Christians who get roped into the various duties of belonging
to a church. This group, myself included, will find extra money for someone
who ended up with an extra chunk of work, call someone up to say their quote
was too low, ask if the budget is working out for them and otherwise act in
a charitable manner to those with whom they are working. I have also had a
sub agree to no payment if I didn't get paid, even though the contract said
differently. (We got paid.) This group includes Baptists, Lutherans,
Catholics and other Christian religions. We didn't necessarily know that the
other was Christian before working together, but we figured it out, and
continue the relationships because we have similar standards - which makes
life much easier.

Is Christianity measurable?

I have seen studies that prayer aids healing - they didn't seem to be
overwhelming in statistical significance.

My husband said that there was a study on people's believing in terms of
cancer survival, which showed it made no difference. I find that to be an
impossible study. How can you measure believing? How can you command it?

God prospered the Jews when they were faithful. Is it possible to measure
anything scientific in terms of the difference that being a Christian makes?
