Just as your question goes; Christians claim to follow Jesus because of the benefits the Bible has been promising them from that date they started programming their mind by means of reading the Bible. Some of these benefits promised by Jesus are prosperities, abundance, good life and off course eternal life; which all these are what i call in marketing lead magnet.

If you’re a marketer, i guess you’ll understand better what’s a lead magnet.

So Christian’s seem not to follow the teachings of bible because, 90% of all the scriptures in the Bible are based on real life practices, which by honesty; most people who turn to follow jesus is because they’re seeking for a good and easy life ( off course which’s exactly what the Bible is promising them).

But in real? They’re not willing nor ready to follow the teachings because they find it to be some sort of difficult tax for them to do.

Like i said before. The Bible contains roughly about 90% of true life scriptures. Which if you read them in truth and practice them in full, you’ll experience God presence in your life.

Amongst all types of religion, despite their differences in book titles. But they’re all known as holy book (God’s words) which anyone can then create their religion while tapping powerful words from the holy book as a proof of trust to keep their members following.

Even you reading this now, can create your own religion using God’s words as a backup of your religion to keep your members on the track.

Religion is just a business venture as far as I’m concerned. While Christianity top the market capitalizations due to their great advertising and marketing strategies. While controlling over 60% of the world populations.

In terms of revenue. The Catholic Church realizes more income than most of these popular companies you know.

What’s most funny to me is; some of Christian’s followers somewhere do not even have a place to lay their head at night.

The same Catholic Church bans man made God (which they label as idol worshipping) yes the holy maria in church is MAN MADE plus their jesus on the cross is MAN MADE. Which i call it idol worshipping.
