The difference between the two is only that most Christians ignore their own faith, even the fundys and hardcore Catholics. Unfortunately vast numbers of Muslims still believe the crap they are taught in the mosque.
They don't ignore their faith as much as they have let it evolve.

This is a pretty good write-up on liberal Christians:

Unless you can actually read minds, you can't say whether they are ignoring their faith, or if maybe they just interpret their faith differently than you would assume. Most Christians tend to have different levels of agnosticism interwoven into their faith and are open to change and discussion.
