That's true I believe. However, my point is that at least in the Christianity (specifically Catholicism) sector of this graph, it's misleading. Specifically in the graph, different orders of priests aren't schismatic offshoots of the Catholic religion by any means. After looking at the graph a little more closely, I also see various Catholic traditions listed as separate religions (i.e. Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Ruthenian Catholic Church, Melkite Greek Catholic Church). I understand the idea of listing these as separate from the Church, but they are in "full communion" with the Catholic Church and also shouldn't be mistaken as separate religions. We all believe the same important things, different cultures and traditions have brought their own gifts to the faith. Catholics profess the Nicene Creed each mass and in it are the "Four Marks of the Church", something every Catholic grade schooler has to memorize at some point. One, holy, catholic, and apostolic. The word "Catholic" itself is greek for "universal". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_communion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_communion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Marks_of_the_Church#.22Catholic.22_as_a_mark_of_the_Church http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Marks_of_the_Church#.22Cat...
