Why don't people who say they are Christian follow the history and traditions of the church that started since Jesus came and passed onto his disciples?

Because not everyone is aware of the history and traditions of the church that Jesus established and passed on to His disciples.
The Orthodox Church follows these traditions and teachings of Jesus and has done so ever since the year 33 AD. However, so many different Christian groups have set themselves up in recent centuries and have lost the history and traditions of the one true church that Jesus established 2,000 years ago.
Jesus said, "I will build My church" (Matt: 16:18). The church is also the special place where God is worshipped and people can receive Holy Communion which is essential for eternal life (John 6:53-54). The Church is also necessary for our salvation: "the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47).
Unfortunately, not many Christian groups follow the teachings of Jesus, and many of them have changed the traditions completely in recent times. The Orthodox Church has stood fast in the faith and preserved the traditions that were handed down by Jesus through His disciples. "Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught..." (2Thessalonians 2:15).

Technically yes. Christian in its most basic form means, Christ-like. Jesus Christ to christians was God in the flesh on this earth.
