Shut it 
The only definition is follower of christ. Most british people think that being born in the UK makes them christian. The scotsman is a scotsman is a scotsman. Tho' the analogy fits non christians who call themselves that quite well.
"Less than half of the British people believe in a God, yet about 72% told the 2001 census that they were Christian"
"and 66% of the population have no actual connection to any religion or church" Brilliant!
I find it interesting to see how zealous non religious ppl are. The 'religious fervour' would make any christian leader envious! (not suggesting non religion is a religion here peeps ...step away from the gun! )
Great find Adrian !
"The British public, both adults and children, are almost wholly ignorant of the basic facts surrounding Christians and other world religions. The Ofsted report on Religious Education (RE) in schools (2007) states that there is a problem even with teachers' insufficient knowledge of RE at primary school level and likewise with recruiting the correct specialists at secondary school level"
From those figures I think mine look correct - taken the decline in adherents/ those that attend weekly, that the church would consider to be the vast majority of 'actual' christians.
