A lot of Christians have a pretty vague understanding of the bible, or the religion as a whole, usually jusy what will let them justify whatever they need to be justified.
This should be expected, to be fair, since Christianity is a cultural inheritance. You're not expected to know much about it other than what your priest tells you, if the Christian even goes to church to begin with.
As an actual Christian that reads the Bible and goes to church, I wish more people who called themselves Christian actually followed what the Bible says. It's a big problem in the US
Yeah, if you don't read the Bible or go to church, it's almost impossible for you to actually be a Christian.
But for some reason what counts as a Christian is determined by what you choose to call yourself instead of what our holy text says.
