Culturally christian is bullshit, but "christian atheist" is a useful term.
My subconscious underpinnings, view towards self and others, are so heavily wrapped up in the lens of protestant Christianity. Of course, I reject the homophobia and sexism that these types may identify as part of the "culture", but otherwise the term itself can provide a lot of use.
One instance that comes to mind is the love of martyrdom in the West. It is identified with liberalism but that as well is identified with whatever bourgeois changes were grafted onto Christianity.
Yeah, I think it can be useful to understand that the cultural milieu that Westerners exist in is based on Christianity even when those Westerners aren't Christians- and that their worldviews reflect that. I thought that the word for that was cultural Christianity and that the nu-atheist use of it to signify alignment with reactionary Christians was new?
