Well the last UK census revealed 70% of the population considered themselves Christian, I assume that is what these Vexen stats are based on.

While I would accept that an awful lot of UK Christians are not regular churchgoers or whatever you cannot simply declare them to be non-Christian in that way ... that is, as Adrian has already told you, the No True Scotsman fallacy. Like it or not, if someone believe in and follows the ways of Jesus Christ to some degree (i.e. biblical teachings) then they are a Christian and the really interesting thing about that is it clearly makes Adolph Hitler a Christian.
