A Christian is a person who has been saved through the Lords grace. Catholics think that they get to go to heaven through their good works, which isn't right. That is the main reason that Catholics aren't Christians. Christians attend church on Sundays like Catholics but they have a "walk with God". Christians read their Bible a lot to learn more about what God has to say about things in life and read about the previews of what will happen soon, unlike Catholics. Christians pray from the heart not a piece of paper, unlike Catholics. They also worship the TRUE father which art thou in heaven, The priest is the "father" for Catholics.
Christian Science
Yes. Mainly because Jehovah's Witnesses are also Christian. Expect the Witness to refuse politely, however.
any kind, I think save Catholics who have mass instead of chapel, but I know no other word for a church building save 'church' so I could be wrong, and as far as I know Catholics refuse to pray in a protestant church but it doesn't hurt my feelings.
Around circa 112 AD, Pliny wrote the Emperor Trajan how he determines whether someone is a Christian and worthy of death. In the letter, Pliny states that he gives Christians multiple chances to affirm they are innocent and if they refuse three times, they are executed.
No. The only religious group that refused is Quakers.

αρνησιθρησκεία (to refuse your believes in religion, to refuse to be a man who believes that God exists.)
In the Bible, Jesus taught to never be violent. He said to not return evil with evil, but to return evil with love. He said to love our enemies.So, no a Christian should not use violence in protests.AnswerMost Christians refuse to use violence in protests because: Jesus said revenge was wrong and he urged people to forgive others "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us"Most people realise that the press and the media are more likely to cover the story if they refuse to use violence. Using violence makes them no better than their enemies and the people they are protesting against.Peaceful methods of protest can work just as well (e.g marches, letters, speeches, petitons)Another answer:No, Christians should never resort to violent protests. Sadly, many forget that their most powerful weapon against injustice is PRAYER!
Yes you can refuse a medal.
We have answered this question many times, so I am not sure what you mean by "why won't anyone answer." President Obama is a Christian, and his beliefs are in accordance with mainstream Protestant Christianity. He has said he accepts Jesus as his Lord; in fact, he has said it many times. His wife is Christian, he is raising his children as Christians. He has never belonged to any other religion, contrary to internet rumors and myths. But some people still refuse to take him at his word when he says he is a Christian.
Christians (and also Jews) believe that there is only one God. Therefore, they considered the Roman Emperor's claim to be a god to be self-serving nonsense.
Pacifists or conscientious objectors. These are people who refuse to fight based on religious or moral principles.
