That is just plain wrong. What you are doing is putting YOUR spin on things, on what everyone else feels. As an experiment, I just went to Walmart (about a minute away from home) and asked 15 people if they followed Christian principles. Of the 15, 14 said yes. I then asked those 14 if they WERE Christian or belonged to a Christian church. 4 said yes, 3 said that they would have to think about it or weren't sure, and 7 said no.

Just in this small group, seven of 15 who believe in and follow Christian principles, but who admit to not being Christian? If nobody can understand the distinction, how can this possibly be?? By your assertion, if it was true, it should have been 0 of 15!

You might want to check for yourself instead of just using your own take on things and assuming that everyone else must feel the same. It is an interesting exercise.
