How many of the 76% identifying themselves as Christian are like me, that is, clearly a product of my Judeo-Christian culture, grew up in the church (choir boy even), but haven’t seen the inside of a church but once in the last dozen or so years (to make sure my bipolar mom didn’t cause a scene), and have not accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior.

When asked, I do ID myself as a Christian, as there is no option on most of those surveys for being agnostic.

That would make me, and a ton of others (presumably) as Christians in name only.

You live in a culture shaped by a thousand years of Christian history. If you were translated to any other part of the world back 500 years, the only place you could even grasp the meaning of what was around you, after you learned the local language, would be Europe.

Cultural Christian. Your very idea of what is legal or illegal is shaped by the law you have been exposed to—the English common law as modified by American statutes and conditions— because it is founded on Christian practices.
