It can mean different things for different people, and I'm sure there are many Christians out there who would say *I* (CL) am definitely NOT devout and practicing lol. So let's say, if a person considers themselves devout and practicing, then you can take it to mean as much for the poll question.
Well then that's a bit pointless to be honest, because that covers such a large group of people it would be insane to claim that none of them are moral or honest. I mean, if someone's passionate about their beliefs, that says (mostly) nothing about their moral code. I would however argue that most diehard fundamentalist christians are quite immoral.

Something like 'does (passionate/devout) christianity affect a person's morality (in a negative way)?' would be a bit better. The issue here is that it's making blanket statements about a group of people. You can't answer C without being an asshole. It's mostly the phrasing of the answer.
