Thank you Nicholas for giving voice to what I suspect are millions of Christians by spirit, if not be religious doctrine.    The Christian community is as diverse as most organization of 10's of millions of people.  On this site alone we have those who insist on religious doctrine while advocating for harsher punishment, ignoring the hungry, supporting violent solutions to both domestic and foreign conflict.   

To make a choice of faith takes a decision of choosing your priorities for living.    Those choices will always lead to others speculation on our values, from other people of your own religious faith, from others in other religious traditions and from those who disavow any religious practice.     

You have to be prepared to stand by your heart, even when you are attacked by those in the pew next to you, (let alone those who have grown to despise/mistrust any spiritual component in their own lives).   It's a path of individual choice, not a corporate endorsement.
