Your anecdote is somewhat irrelevant the the discussion as statistically*, 90% of professed Christians don't live any differently than "the rest of the world". The extremists are the rare exception, not the rule. Probably even most the 10% in the study I read aren't this extreme.
*Study I am referring to measured things like divorce rates, pre-marital sex, porn, cheating, crimes, etc. among self-identified Christians vs. Non-Christian.
