Most Christians I know are in fact pagans, heretics, or agnostics, who call themselves members of their regional denomination of Christianity in order to "fit in". They make up their own beliefs, loosely based on Christianity (with all sorts of external influences, from eastern religions, to new age, to regional superstitions), but they know almost nothing about their churches' actual doctrines. Most of them barely - or not at all - attend church and don't observe the majority of religious rituals and "laws". And they hate truly devout Christians (aka - religious nuts) even more, than the atheists do.
Still - on paper, they appear as "Christians", which makes me doubt the accuracy of any reports, regarding numbers of Christians in civilized societies.
