This assumes that Christian means “follow the teachings of Jesus Christ”. Unfortunately Christianity has never meant that. Even less in the US since Billy Graham.
I have no idea what you’re talking about, it’s always meant that. Anyone who doesn’t follow the teachings of Jesus but calls themselves Christian is just lying.
I’m not sure they’re lying as long as they actually think they are christians but are just wrong about it in your eyes.
There are definitely millions of people who “follow” the teachings (they listen when somebody feeds them a tracking) even though they don’t implement them in real life.
Have you read on the history of evangelical Christians during the US civil war? Two different factions of Christians argued both sides, against and pro slavery. Both cited Jesus and the bible, often.
Christianity is anything you want it to be. Proof is on the fact that there are like 45 thousand different Christian denominations, and they all have a different interpretation of Jesus, some diametrically opposite each other. Even the apostols argued with each other about how to interpret Jesus on certain topics. That’s the problem of trying to rule your life under the words and teachings of one single person who may or may not have existed.

Funnily enough, an enormous amount of Americans somehow did the mental gymnastics tomdo both anyway
You just start saying that Jesus was this blonde guy with an Arnold Schwarzenegger type body, who loved CEO’s and shit like that.
That in turn also goes to show how dumb religions are
