Personal opinion: MOST of the professed Christians have been marginal, or non believers. Probably throughout history. Sheer fear of condemnation, peer pressure and perhaps the belief that religious morality is good for society even if based on nothing other than delusion have led them to supporting churches, attending, professing. With the greater acceptance of alternatives to mainstream Judeo/Christian practice - atheism, Wicca, and othe occult - we are seeing in an overt form what has probably existed since shortly after Peter preached, or at least since the time of Constantine.

One of the most rock-ribbed, upright, 'moral' staunch conservatives I know does NOT believe, but he strongly supports his church, the Republican candidates nationally and in his area and to ALL external appearances is the very model of what a good conservative Republican should be. Because, being an entrepreneur he worships only what WORKS, and the Judeo-Christian, capitalist American style constitutional republic is the most productive and effective system of economic and political liberty creation and preservation ever known (paraphrasing him)

It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.

The very idea that human beings have individual rights not subject to the whims of an earthly monarch, but subject to the laws of Yahweh, is directly from Moses.

Historically, this is proven over and over again with the successive conflicts between the forces of paganism and the Judaic culture. (This includes the idolatry of cultural Marxist paganism.)
