My grandmother 'identifies' as a protestant but she said she's not sure if she even believes Jesus was real or that there is actually a place called hell. She does believe in an afterlife though. I would argue that she's a weak theist or maybe even a deist.
It's a similar case with my grandparents as well. They donate monthly to the local church, occasionally participate in different events but when I ask them if they think Jesus and all that was real, they take a minute to think it over and ask me "Why does that matter?"
