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]
