    Christianity has ceased to be a religion but has become a culture of
    its own, Turkish Environment and Urbanism Minister Erdošan Bayraktar
    said at a recent conference hosted by the ruling Justice and
    Development Party's (AKP) Women's Group.

    "The biggest three countries in the world are not Muslim countries.
    China, India - only the U.S. believes in a single God. Spirituality
    and religious feelings are weakening," Bayraktar said.

    "There are 2.5 billion Christians in the world," Bayraktar said.
    "Christianity is no longer a religion. It's a culture now. But that is
    not what a religion is like. A religion teaches; it is a form of life
    that gives one peace and happiness. That is what they want to turn
    [Islam] into as well."
