Only partially. They had the Old Testament, which was a subset of the Jewish Bible. But more to the point, their concept of Christianity is, according to them, rooted in the Bible. But in reality, they haven't read it.

    Not reading the bible is not new. Reading the bible was something you literally were not allowed to do for like a thousand years in major sects like catholicism.

    So how do the contents of the bible have anything to do with defining Christianity?

    When the people make a huge gigantic deal about it, a lot; you have to point it out at every opportunity.

    Honestly, having known a lot of them...I think they do. Or at least they think they do. They aren't very self-reflective. They don't have the cognitive dissonance about it.

    At least at the local level. The people who are actually in elected office definitely don't, that's true.
