well yeah, that's because those of us who did have largely either left the religion entirely or reworked a sort of extremely personalized variant of it.
Yes or become more abstract about it, accepting the many faults to try and recover a consistent thread tying it all together. Many modern sects are basically variants on these kinds of attempts trying to square scripture and modern culture and society. There are also many people in that quasi-Christian space between being a hardcore believer and an atheist with Christian biases, especially liberals in the imperial core. Like folks that go to a Unitarian church and identify as Christian and think Jesus did some of that stuff and pray to him but done think about it too much because church is a place for community more than being a cloistering nerd.
