Eh, that one's debatable. Ostensibly identifying with a religion doesn't necessarily mean adhering to its teachings, which I'd say is the better criterion for deciding whether or not somebody follows it than what they claim their religion is. That's certainly not unique to religion, in that it applies to any ideology, but religions in particular have a whole lot of people that claim membership but don't actually do any of the things that belief in that god would entail.

I know there are Christian religions that actually do something of a membership, but Christianity is a huge umbrella and it's basically a free for all.

Assuming you're a Christian because you believe in Jesus and that's why you say it.
