I'm sorry Blue Bird, I don't record time spent on what I read or listen to.
I will tell you that I pray and read from Jewish texts everyday, read the parsha on Shabbat and attend services for just about all of the Jewish holidays. I also watch videos and listen to podcasts from Jewish speakers.
I don't really spend any time "thinking" of Christian scriptures. I do respond and try to understand when Christian scriptures are given to me as proof texts or when someone tells me about what it says.
I have no idea how to answer your question because I'm not sure what you mean by "most Jews". There are millions of Jews of all beliefs, some with no beliefs at all. Remember, being Jewish and observing Judaism are two different things.
I don't see a "fight' against Christianity. I see a "response" to missionaries who repeatedly missionize to the Jews people, some in very sneaky ways.
I'm sure there may be some who consider it a fight. But most are just standing up for their own beliefs.
Just imagine Jehovah Witnesses coming to you every day from different angles trying to get you to believe what they do.
You can either ignore them, which most people do, or sit down with them and have a discussion, which I have done several times.
Also, it was the study of the so called proof texts that were constantly thrown at me that led me to "search my roots" and begin my journey home.
It is more of a defense, not a fight.
Sorry if you feel otherwise.
