I think you would do well to read what has come before regarding theories of religion instead of attempting to create your image of religion ex nihilo in the same way that many create their image of god.
My intention was not to brush all Christians under the same brush as such but rather to highlight that though many people identify as being Christian, they aren't really Christian in practice. I know its not life or death stuff but it is a bit annoying when people are claiming moral superiority by attaching this label of Christianity to themselves.
Hope that clarifies what I meant

No. Never.
The answer is too obvious.
