The best thing about being a Christian is not having to explain it to other Christians because they already know and not having to explain it to non-Christians because they'll never understand.
You only have to know that you can't attribute any behavior by someone to them being a Christian. Even if it's fervent religious activity, it's personal choice on their part, not an attribute of Christianity alone.
