No, THIS is the Real Christianity…

Clearly, no, THIS is the Real Christianity…:
I’m not sure there’s much point in yet another cry of “Hey, they claim they’re Christians but they’re not REAL Christians.” I’ve spent a lot of years pointing out to students that no one can have an objectively “true” view of “REAL Christianity,” because there ain’t no such thing. Christianity, like any religious tradition, is constantly changing into whatever its adherents make out of it. Let them all throw the charge of “not a REAL Christian” at each other, and may the best advocates for their particular view win.
I do rather like that the writer, Ira Chernus, includes any religious tradition in the context. I am currently interested in the fact that Christianity has no way to acknowledge its status of “constantly changing into whatever its adherents make out of it”. And I’m wondering if other religious do or do not.
Hum maybe this is why I’m a Jew. Ok not the whole reason but its got to be part of it.
