By the way, I'm with you on this. Nominal Christians certainly exist, and my in-laws are an example, but I wouldn't venture to guess how many are like that. When the polls were taken about the 2016 election, the majority of those who identified themselves as Christians also said they voted for Trump. Frequently, posters on DU say Trump voters aren't genuine Christians, but I do not. I take them at their word that they are Christians.
