I don't understand how there are people who consider themselves Christian but can't explicitly say yes, I do think Jesus is God, or that He rose from the dead. What causes such people to want to call themselves a Christian? Is it a bad faith attempt to appeal to normal Christians, or do these guys just have sincerely idiosyncratic takes on things
Christianity has the best story and gives the most hope of any religion, and it's completely intertwined with the history of the West. Even faithless charlatans are desperate to associate themselves with it.

Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. Shew the things that are to come here- after, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.""If you and your Moslem (and Catholic and Hindu and Buddhist) friends cannot meet THOSE requirements which God gave you in His Book (see Mal. 3:16), then for heaven's sake, don't go around bragging about some fornicating polygamist or some wine-headed politician or cross-legged yogi who as (and is) no more a genuine "prophet" than Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Ezek. 4:9-10)."The difference between the Bible and other "holy" books is that the Bible is a collection of eyewitness accounts of God's dealings with man. The Bible is a history book, verified by those who saw the events unfold. The Koran is not that way. It is an illiterate, epileptic egomaniac in a cave listening to an unclean spirit describe supposedly historic events from over 4,000 years before Mohammed was born. On top of that, there is not one shred of evidence that anything the Koran describes in history is true, unless it was stolen from the Bible. Every time an unsaved historian casts doubt on the Bible, an unsaved archaeologist digs up the evidence that shows the Bible was telling the truth all of the time.Religions are man-made religious ideas, not historical realities. They have man as authority instead of the infallible word of God. The Bible is from God, so it makes no sense to ignore it and go to the teachings of corruptible men instead. You need salvation.
Proof that the Bible is the word of God:https://truthischrist.com/seven/fcbaptist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Bible-proof.pdf1 Cor. 15:3-4: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRT2FFXntc1 John 5:7: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”Rom. 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”Jesus Christ is God who has come in the flesh from heaven. He died as a sinless sacrifice for the sins of the whole world to save you from eternal hell, the punishment for your sins. He was buried, then resurrected and ascended to heaven, and will return soon to judge the world. You can't be justified to God your own way, so will you choose His righteousness instead? (Rom. 10:3)Salvation is by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9) in the one, final, effectual sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:8-12) dying in your place as a substitutionary offering for sin (Rom. 5:1-10). His blood atonement made for you is finished, so if you have received the Lord Jesus by faith (John 1:12) in your heart, you're forgiven of all your sins and are saved, once for all; finally and forever! The gift of salvation can't be earned, it is a gift. Rom. 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Confess The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in prayer, that you trust in Him, not your own deeds, He atoned for your sins on the cross.Eph. 2:8-9: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” After you're saved, you are a child of God and nothing will separate you from His love. (Romans 8:38-39)
