As mentioned in the musical HAIR, the astrological era of the fish is just coming to an end.
The new era is the age of Aquarius.
I also renounced my membership in the protestant-church: I'm a vegetarian now.

I guess kind of, because I've been educated by christians, which of course influenced me a lot.
And I like Christmas.

Being a Christian isn't about education, upbringing, or denominational affiliation. It is a personal relationship with Christ, and is the result of a decision to trust Jesus Christ as Savior.
Thus being a vegetarian wouldn't replace being a Christian, and in fact couldn't.

If this is so, then I'm no christ.
Nevertheless I think my behaviour and interactions with my environment are more 'christly' than that of some so called christians. And that's (partially) the result of my education.

Have you considered that they might not be Christians either?

No, they aren't. Even though they go to church every sunday morning.

Yes, well one of my favorite quotes is "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to Mcdonalds makes you a french fry". -Keith Green

Simple definition of a Christian is one who believes Christ died for their sins paying the price God demands for disobediance. That Christ willingly paid the price for their wrong and thus secured them a place in heaven. Only a sinless man could do so as it was a sinless man that brought sin into the world.
Thus anyone not accepting Christ paid the price for their sins through his physical death is not a Christian. Whether they be pew warmers or not

"pew warmers" are those who are sitting on the premises and not standing on the promises.
