I think what happens is non-Christian (maybe atheist) see small sects of Protestant Fundamentalist who are Biblical literalist and think "wow every Christian in the world believes the World was made in six days, 6000 years ago." But that isn't the case; that is just a misconception of Christianity.

Okay, so instead of accepting that a huge part of christians in the world are more or less literalist, you just brush them aside and think that's ignorable.
Alright, let's pretend that makes sense at all. Tell me then what proper christians believe from the bible. Do they believe in anything from Genesis and how Adam and Eve were exiled from the garden of Eden? What about hell and the devil, do they exist? Do they believe in the story of Moses and how he eventually recieved the 10 commandments? Did Jesus ever walk on water or turn water into wine?
See, I don't know which one of the stories you have to believe in order to be a proper christian by your criteria. None of them?
