Identifying and being are two different things. In this country, claiming to be a Christian is part of a social identity. If you only counted those people who actually understood what it is that they supposedly believe, go to church regularly, read the Bible, etc. that number would be minuscule. Besides, with 30,000 distinct sects of Christianity out there, many of whom consider all others to be heretical, how do you define what "Christian" actually means?
Doesn't matter whether or not they agree with each other.
You got something better which shows the "overwhelming majority" celebrate with "no religious overtones whatsoever"? Let's see it. You're making bold claims, so let's see what backs it up.
