It's not even about declaring themselves default. Many countries used to have 90+% of population identifying as Christian, with persecution against non-Christians. Christianity was/is taught in schools, determines the public holidays, and was historically written into law, among a million other things. In these countries, they were the default. They were normal and their cultural legacy is still normal. Retaining the status quo of their traditions is not seen as religious celebration or worship, it's spiritually empty.

Thought experiment: If a Christian attends a friend's Hanukkah each year, watches the rituals and enjoys the food and company, do you believe this alone now makes them a Jew?
