This is not what history tells us.
Being an ignorant arsehole is consistant with the how christianity has developed, at least in the west.
Ah, but you're citing "actual Christian" while I was saying "book Christian". "Actual Christian" is, indeed, just another people. (I tend to separate people and humans, despite there being a small overlap between the two.)
"Actual Christians" (henceforth A/C's) are simply those people that say "I'm a Christian". The B/C's, if they exist at all, are damn hard to find.
