Kulturalni kršćani
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]

Suvremena Europa
urediU 21. stoljeću, otvoreni britanski ateist Richard Dawkins u nekoliko intervjua naziva sebe "kulturalnim kršćaninom" i "kulturalnim anglikancem".[1][2][12][13]
