Never thought about "all churches" being only Christian before. A little something I was corrected on shortly after 9/11. Having never thought about it before, I used the word "clergy" on SI to refer generically to religious leaders and was corrected by a Muslim. Assorted research and a long discussion ensued. Rabbis aren't "clergy" either. And Jewish and Muslim houses of worship aren't "churches." "Church" and "clergy" denote Christian. So if the headline said "church," which it did, the notion of Christianity was appropriately covered.
