It doesn't matter. Your mistake here is that you are looking at the issue from a wrong point of view. It is not if they go to the church or if they to the mosque. Or if they drink alcohol or they abstain. We are talking of culture. We are not Americans, for God's sake. There is much more to culture than a few external and modern signs, which can be common or opposed through all peoples in the world.

Forget the word Muslim for a moment. Albanians are Ottomans. Do you think that all Turks are religious Muslims? Forget it. And they drink just as well. And many look European, or they are even Europid or in much part. And in the middle classes in Western Turkey they have adopted many external signs of so-called "Western", that makes them look as more "European" than Albanians. But they are not. They are Ottomans.
