Mainly through debating people on ATS , I have noticed there are some things , not really related to Christianity, that only Christians believe in...
So are these Christian-only conspiracies, and why?????
You start off with an incorrect premise/assumption when you say that these are "Christian Only".
For instance... Devout Christians (generally) do not believe that God created any other intelligent life forms in the Universe. But so do many other religions...as well as non-religious people.
The Flat Earth and Young Earth theories, yes, they're predominantly Christian ideas.

No they don't, there is nothing in the bible to suggest that God (the biblical God) only created life on one planet. That's your opinion and your opinion alone. Most sensible Christians actually don't take every word in the bible literally anyway, but it seems a lot of people can't accept that as the case.

One might also point out about Jesus saying (in John 10:16) He had to lay down his life because He had "other sheep that are not of this fold", which He had to "bring in".

Lol... "Christian only."
The Flat Earth and Young Earth theories, yes, they're predominantly Christian ideas. The rest? Not even close.
In regards to which I believe. The NWO? Without doubt. Satanic Cults? I am pretty sure that's established fact. They exist. Elite pedo rings? Eh, not too convinced one way or the other. The MSM? Been lying for decades.
Am I a Christian? I guess you could say I am in the sense that I believe in Jesus Christ, but not in the traditional sense. I am very unorthodox. Matter of fact, if I lived during the dark ages, I would have been burnt for "heresy" years ago.

i don't completely agree with OP, but i think i see the point they're getting at
take the Gay Agenda one, for example; how many bitterly embattled threads have we had about that sort of stuff?
and in those threads, what percentage of arguments against accepting LGBT people goes back to "bible says no" ?
not all, but a lot.
You see the same sort of thing in YE and FE threads too.
and the amount of biblical imagery and allusions that goes on whenever the illuminati comes up!
they may not be christians or believers as such but the bible gets cited as evidence around here a heck of a lot more than you'd reasonably expect if christianity wasn't a factor.
There is absolutely zero evidence of any murderous satanic cult ever..
In the early 1980s, a group of four men formed a satanic cult and committed crimes that are still considered some of the most violent acts ever to have occurred in the Midwest

That is Part of the reason I am doing this "experiment".... knowledgehunter has been the first non Christian who has claimed they buy theses conspiracies so far.. I guess he could be lying of really more of a quasi, Christian..
But his post history looked legit and not A single "Jesus is real " in the bunch..so imho I gotta take his word for it.
I knew any "anti Christian" people who bought these things, might even be offended enough into posting..

Young Earth Creationists: there seem to be no secular or non Christian proponents of this.. and assuming it held some validity, you should have scientists and/or conspiracy theorists of all shapes and sizes that buy into it. The concept that the earth is 70000 years old and the scientific community is falsifying evidence to falsify the existence of dinosaurs or giants , shouldn't really be a Christian only conspiracy should it??

Flat earth: this is just stupifying but out of all the videos I have seen pushing this conspiracy, they have all had a Christian spin to them. In a vacuum this shouldn't be a Christian only conspiracy.. yet it seems to be..

Satanic Cults: I have also never met some one who is not a Christian who believes in satanic cults. Obviously people have crazy ideas about religion and people do stupid things in religions name, so why don't non Christians conspiracy people believe in this one too????

Illuminatti: the thought that there is a secret NWO who secretly controls the world and hides symbolism in all the media sources also doesn't seem like it would be a Christian only theory, but every video I watch some how ties it to the Bible.. I could be wrong about this being an only Christian conspiracy, but it definitely is a mainly Christian thought.
During the Civil War (1861-1865), President Lincoln needed money to finance the War from the North. The Bankers were going to charge him 24% to 36% interest. Lincoln was horrified and went away greatly distressed, for he was a man of principle and would not think of plunging his beloved country into a debt that the country would find impossible to pay back.
Eventually President Lincoln was advised to get Congress to pass a law authorizing the printing of full legal tender Treasury notes to pay for the War effort. Lincoln recognized the great benefits of this issue. At one point he wrote:
"(we) gave the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they have ever had – their own paper money to pay their own debts..."
The Treasury notes were printed with green ink on the back, so the people called them "Greenbacks".
Lincoln printed 400 million dollars worth of Greenbacks (the exact amount being $449,338,902), money that he delegated to be created, a debt-free and interest-free money to finance the War. It served as legal tender for all debts, public and private. He printed it, paid it to the soldiers, to the U.S. Civil Service employees, and bought supplies for war.
Shortly after that happened, The London Times printed the following: "If that mischievous financial policy, which had its origin in the North American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without a debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe."

The gay agenda, They want to turn your children gay: this one has fallen out of popularity lately, but for a long time there were a lot of Christians pushing the thought that there was a gay agenda, where there was a massive conspiracy to normalize homosexuality and then indoctrinate children to be gay, or to be used by pedophiles..
