How *exactly* do you define "Christian" here?

Well, I know about at least one religion which actually has something
close to "canonical interpretation" (I'm neither an expert on
philosophy/theology, nor a native English speaker, but I suspect
that the word "doctrine" is more suitable here than "interpretation"
- hence my reservation.) Consequently, "factions" existing within this
religion do indeed disagree on quite a lot of things (like: should
capital punishment be used nowadays, or: is free market the best idea
for economy, or: is Emacs better than Vim), but not the doctrine.
Also, could you please check the meaning of the word "dogma" in your
dictionary?

Well, sir, you are entitled to have your personal opinions. I'm
afraid, though, that both above sentences are not correct. First of
all, I didn't use the word "pseudoreligion" - I was writing about
"pseudo-religious causes", which I tried to explain in the previous
paragraph (though the term was probably badly chosen). Also, *if*
pseudo-science weren't (in some its aspects at least) close to science,
nobody would fall for it. And actually some contemporary parts of the
so-called "science" are dangerously close to pseudo-science.
Best,
