I used to be one. And the majority of my family still are.
So yes, I know them quite well.
I don't have a problem with them. They think they're doing the right thing with their lives. And they're pretty decent people. Unfortunately, they simply ascribe their goodness to a god that I know does not exist.
If they would realize this as well, it would change nothing. They would still be the same people. They just wouldn't believe in something that doesn't exist. By the same token, I didn't change at all, the day I learned Santa doesn't exist.
Even though I know he doesn't see when I'm sleeping, or know when I'm awake. Even though he doesn't know if I've been bad or good.
I'm still good, for goodness' sake.

It was the most wonderful thing. First, she turned a bathtub full of water into wine, then she brought my goldfish back to life.
Seriously, do you expect Christians to be any different from ordinary people? Most ordinary people would be Christians anyway, at least in the western world.

a real Christian or a Sunday Christian? Lots talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

Below is my brief testimony, It was my wife's Christian parents and a Christian by the name of Robert Rogers who showed me what being a Christian really was and what living a life with God was all about. I spent 25 years not believing. My first act of accepting salvation was to please those who were raising me.
PART ONE-My life before I accepted Christ. It was broken, one of childhood trauma and my own free will. My mother had attempted suicide. My father admittedly did not want me. I was stricken with guilt and shame. I wasn’t good enough. My father towering over me, “your no good, you’ll never amount to anything.” His spit aimlessly landed as I cowered in fear. A constant reminder of my future: prison, a mental institution or dead. Why would Heaven have room for me? My family didn’t. Living a life on the edge, looking for ways to hide from the pain the world had to offer. I was an addict of addictions. I was lonely, hurt and definitely lost.
Part TWO-Circumstances surrounding your conversion. I was fourteen years old, returning back from a Youth For Christ Camp. Nerves were restless as I approached the stage, then the podium. The church congregation heard my belief in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I would fall away but he would see me through the absolute toughest times of my life.
Part THREE-How would you describe your spiritual growth from the time you accepted Christ to today? I’ve grown exponentially since accepting Christ! I married in October of 2000. Our son was born in July of 2002. 12 days later he would come within inches of death. He was in congestive heart failure. He was slipping away right before our eyes. Looking up, sobbing uncontrollably I cried out to God. “Please don’t take him away from us, you just gave him to us!” I found hope and faith that day. There was nothing I could physically do to save my own son. I was helpless. Surgery was successful; he is now three years old. Robert Rogers presented his testimony of Gods strength and inner peace after the tragic loss of his wife and four children in a flash flood. My life would change forever. I was baptized, with a new commitment. My life became God, Family, and church. As the Apostle Paul said, “forget the past and strive forward.” I now ask what can I do for God, not what can he do for me.

Most of my family is Christian. My bro-in-law is a Methodist minister.
They're people, like everybody else. I'm an atheist, myself. Half my family is Jewish. My girlfriend is Muslim.
I find that people are more the same than different, no matter what their personal worldview is.

My unlce is a retired minister, my mother is a retired church secretary, my aunt sings in the choir.
They're all really nice. So are all the people at their church. But it still doesn't make me comfortable when my mother drags me to service.
