Then explain why they do or say things that makes them christians?
Because they go to mass maybe for christmas, or easter, or simply learn about religion and are told who God is. But this is not indoctrination, their parents do not force them to believe it. They accept is more or less as a fact and never think about it. It's not that they refuse to think, it's that religion is such a small minor part of their lives that spending time on it is trivial. Most believe in some sort of heaven, maybe see an exemple in Jesus, and that's about it.
You have to realize that for most people, religion is really not a big deal. Even people who go to church only think about God during mass, for an hour a week, and even then i know many people that go to church go there to see their friends in the community, it's more a social than religious event.
