The Roman Catholic Church would agree with me. Every time President Biden goes to Mass, he recites the Apostles Creed out loud.
Because THAT denomination is the origin of all the dogma at the spiritual heart of all other Christian denominations. Even the Eastern Orthodox Church agrees with 99% of the original Council of Nicaea's formalizing of the biblical foundations of Christian belief.
