Modernist Christianity is for people who feel like they should probably go to church but either they don’t really believe all that stuff or that stuff is kind of irrelevant.
Exactly. I overheard a conversation between two co-workers, one who goes to a so-called “Mainline” Protestant church and the other was officially completing his RCIA so he and his wife could get officially married in the Roman Catholic Church. The RCIA one was telling her about how he doesn’t believe much of it but just going through with it to please his wife while the liberal Protestant thought it was wonderful that Pope Francis seemed so liberal to her. I couldn’t help but think what exactly was the point of either of them going to church at all?
