Why do people claim to be a christian?
Mainly because they have falsley been misled to believe that the bible and christianity represents absolute unabridged universal truth.
For some reason, people want to be perceived by other people as being good or having a specific purpose in being placed on this earth, instead of the world admitting that we are nothing more than the result of two animals getting together and having sex. For some reason people want be be perceived as being special, that some great invisible deity had enough in depth foresight many millennia ago to bring about YOU, good ole YOU! to make sure you arrive here on earth specifically to spread his message of salvation to save the world from his burning hell because YOU now suddenly have a PURPOSE and you want to show the world what a great ambassador and example of what wholesome goodness and godly purpose is all about.
The christian will wear crosses or have a bible around for people to see, you'll pray in restaurants for people to intentionally see that you are a follower of the bible, a servant of god and that you have purpose and want to impress upon people's minds that you are an ambassador and an example of all that is good and righteous and that you're more than the result of two animals just having sex.
You the christian want people to see that you follow orders and that you're obedient and a champion for god and you want to be an example for all that is good and that the world is doomed for hell if it were not for you and you'll not easily be swayed away from your silly childhood indoctrinated beliefs and you're a religious coward afraid to stand up against psuedo religious authority.

I wrote a post on this a while back where I basically stated how Christianity breeds hypocrisy. All these cherry picking believers making a public display of their faith might not have read Jesus alleged admonishment to the pharisees and scribes.
3 You must therefore do and observe what they tell you; but do not be guided by what they do, since they do not practise what they preach.5 Everything they do is done to attract attention, like wearing broader headbands and longer tassels, Matthew 23:3,5 (NJB)
This admonishment goes on and on for the entire chapter and quite honestly it pretty much defines a modern day cherry picking believer to me.
Yeah absolutely, it's all about proping themselves up to make people think they are something they're not, and they have convinced themselves but they've only fooled themselves.
