It is funny, isn't it, that most christians seem to think that christ is the last name of jesus. This is just one obvious example of how little they understand their own religion.

It's not. It is a title.

Interesting question.
Jesus Christ...The Lord was not just a man.. He was God who came in the likeness of the Flesh of sin.
He is fully God but fully man.
So His name denotes these two aspects of Who He is.
Whenever we see " Jesus" in the word the emphasis is on His Humanity. Even the wording in the bible.. Be it " Jesus Christ'.. or " Christ Jesus" is showing the emphasis and the context of what needs to be considered before us in whatever passage of the word we are reading.
Whenever " Christ' is used in the bible.. the emphasis is on the Lord's Divinity since " Christ" means " The Anointed One"
An Anointed One is someone who is anointed to carry out a certain function or purpose.
As the Christ of God.. the Lord Jesus came to fulfil the purpose of God to redeem mankind through His all-inclusive, all-prevailing death. But not only this.. Jesus Christ came to draw man back to God... fill man with God's life and by doing so.. God has a start to spread His life throughout man's being through the process of transformation.. conformation..etc.
So in a way Christ is not necessarily a lastname.. but a TITLE denoting divinity and His commission as God's anointed.

it's a title, not a last name

I'm a non-Christian and I know it's not a last name.
Christ means anointed from the Greek, a translation of the Hebrew Messiah

It means "annointed one". It's a title, and you can find it in Psalm 2:2 for example.
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

There are ignorant people everywhere. It is not an important issue. However, if people knew more about how things are translated, it would solve a lot of useless debates.
I like your idea of spreading awareness.

Jesus was anointed at his baptism and became the Christ.
The Holy Spirit came down from heaven in the form of a dove and there was a thunderous voice. This is my son, the beloved, I have approved him.
God had anointed Jesus the Christ or Jesus Christ that day as his son and mediator to the world.
If you say Christ Jesus it adds majesty and kingship to his name

I guess, but it should be a first name, Christ always comes first.
