a normal society ?

All to often Christianity is associated with the facade of a normal society, that often frowns on what it considers to be abnormal. However, in my opinion, Christianity is not typical in a modern society, nor has it been in any of the previously so-called normal societies.

Some will say that, in the U.S. a majority of people identify as Christian (that's identify), but one can identify as anything. That doesn't necessarily make it so. And fewer people seem to be identifying as Christians, even in the U.S.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective), I don't think the percentage of actual Christians in any general society is anywhere near the numbers often suggested. Usually, when anything is considered normal, that is what the masses tend to identify with. For years, in many countries (including the U.S.) Christianity was associated with a normal society. So, the masses, wishing to fit in identified as such.

So, don't mistakenly identify Christians with the fake, plastic, pathos of a white picket fence society attempting to fake normalcy. In many ways we are just as unusual as many other groups in any given society. In fact (especially by actual percentage) we are probably even less typical.

And please don't mistakenly equate Christianity with the money-grubbing, otherwise wouldbe used car dealers that attempt to pass themselves off as Christian preachers.

(— just my opinion)
