Why #CulturalChristian is the DUMBEST Label Ever

EVERY form of #Christianity is #cultural Christianity - from #evangelicals to #Catholics to #progressives.

Let's cover

- Why evangelical "true Christianity" is just as cultural as any other form
- How #belief itself is culturally conditioned
- Why #speakingintongues, #altarcalls, and #salvation #prayers are all cultural practices
- The sociological reality behind #Christian identity formation

If you map the values of all Christians across place and time onto metrics, and average them out out, the resulting value set will look nothing like Richard Dawkins' "cultural Christian" ideal.
Was Tomás de Torquemada a cultural Christian? Was Oliver Cromwell? Fred Phelps? Yoweri Museveni? Is it useful to call "W.E.I.R.D." Anglo values bundled with some mod-trad Anglo aesthetics "cultural Christianity"?
