I would disagree. I’d say maybe like 50% of the people I’ve met who identify as Christians actually believe in any of it. Probably something like 30% have no belief at all and just say they’re Christians because they think everyone else is also Christian and they’re terrified of anyone thinking they’re “weird”. The last 20% seem to actively despise Christianity and would prefer if it didn’t exist at all, but they’ll tell people they are Christians to manipulate them into doing their dirty work. These people would literally say anything if it got them more power. That 20% are mostly politicians or cult leaders or BOTH.
This is one of many reasons I stopped being a Christian sometime in the mid 90s lol
To be fair there are very few “real” christians.
All Christians are real. The religion is an average of those who identify with it, regardless of how well they interpret or follow it.
This is like saying not many people really speak English anymore because the language has shifted since its inception.

You really hammered home the point without all the extra words I had to use. Hard agree.
