Many Christians number Buddhists and Muslims and others among the faithful.
Most do not, but many do.

Responsibility is a philosophical tenet predicated upon some standard. If
this standard is arbitrary, what would compel anyone but yourself to
acknowledge it?
Is the standard behind your statement any more valid than anyone else's? And
if it is not, to what end do you share it with others, or for that matter,
benefit by understanding theirs?
