Cultural Christians are those who received Christian values or appreciate Christian culture but do not subscribe to Christian religious beliefs and practices. They may be agnostics, apatheists, atheists, deists, non-practicing Christians, non-theists, pantheists, or transtheists. These individuals may identify as culturally Christian because of family background, personal experiences, or the social and cultural environment in which they grew up.
Contrasting terms are "practicing Christian", "biblical Christian", "committed Christian", or "faithful Christian".
