Kulturalni kršćani

Otvoreni britanski ateist Richard Dawkins u nekoliko intervjua naziva sebe "kulturalnim kršćaninom".^[1]^[2]

Kulturalni kršćani su nereligiozne osobe (deisti, panteisti, agnostici, ateisti i sl.) koje se čvrsto drže kršćanske kulture i tradicije. Ova vrsta identifikacije može biti posljedica različitih čimbenika, kao što su obiteljska pozadina, osobna iskustva, društveno i kulturno okruženje u kojem su odrastali.^[3]

Suprotni izrazi su "biblijski kršćanin"^[4], "aktivni, prakticirajući kršćanin"^[5] ili "vjerujući kršćanin"^[6].

Deisti iz 18. i početka 19. stoljeća, poput Napoleona i raznih očeva osnivača Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, smatraju se dijelom kršćanske kulture, usprkos njihovoj sumnji u božansku prirodu Isusa.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]

U 21. stoljeću, otvoreni britanski ateist Richard Dawkins u nekoliko intervjua naziva sebe "kulturalnim kršćaninom" i "kulturalnim anglikancem".^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]
