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
"Cultural Christian" sounds like a good term to describe far-right atheist goobers who hang out with and identify with Christian Nationalists.
I'm gonna start using it.
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 TomΓ‘s 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"?
