I would think that if I really believed the Bible and really thought that it meant eternity, I would strictly follow everything in it.
To the second part, very seldom. Look at how many of the leaders end up in some serious scandal. They do things that I wouldn't and I don't think eternity is at stake. It honestly makes me wonder how much they really believe it themselves.

When I wear my Atheist t-shirt in bad neighborhoods, I get threats, rude questions and dirty looks. Whey I wear my Atheist t-shirt in peaceful neighborhoods, I get compliments. Why, because people that commit more crimes are more religious
How could you expect good behavior from this?
1. We're born bad (that wont cause good behavior)
2. God loves me no matter what I do (this causes low standards)
3. The world will get worse until Jesus comes (why try?)
4. This life is just a passing ground (why value life?)
5. Jesus died for my dirt(sins) (so real Christians can murder)

If someone really wants to be a person of God, they would have to completely free themselves of selfishness. They would have to understand that everything is God's will, by necessity, and not judge anything whatsoever. It takes a complete lack of regard for oneself, and the willingness to surrender to God wholly. It would require absolute, unconditional love for every living being.
I've never met a person like this.

I expect them to try to life up to the moral code of their faith and God/Allah.
I see them living up to it about 60% of the time as a group. Individually, I see some of them at almost 100%. One example would be Smiley George....he's very true to his faith and a very positive influence on this site.

There are millions and millions of Christians. All of them have different traditions and come from different countries with different cultural mannerisms. Why would anybody paint millions of people with one brush? Its like asking what do you expect to see in poeple with blue eyes?

Please don't use the word unbelievers. It implies that non-christians don't believe in anything at all when that isn't true.
I expect them to actually live by what they preach. And I never see them live up to what comes out of their mouths.
