A great example of nominal or cultural Christians. However, if they do not believe in what is the very definition of what it means to be a Christian, they are mistaken in their self-identity. 

In many cases, it probably is that the person believes in God and is NOT a Muslim, Hindu, Jew, or some other religion. They arrive at Christianity by cultural default.

You speak of "the definition" as if it exists independent of the people who claim themselves to be Christian. It's not. Christianity is what the self-professed Christian says it is. If 1,000 years from now, no Christians believed in the resurrection, your opinion would simply be regarded as a relic.
