Misconceptions about being a Christian in the US

In the US, the term 'Christian' is often misunderstood, with many people associating it with simply believing in Christianity, attending church occasionally, and being morally upright. However, being a Christian should entail following Jesus, rather than expecting Jesus to provide occasional favors or support. This misunderstanding is evident in the significant gap between the 76% of Americans who claim to be Christian and the estimated 8% who are actually following Jesus, as indicated by independent surveys.
