Elon Musk: a “Cultural Christian”

This seems to be a new trend, according to the article. In some ways, it reminds me of stories of some of the Founding Fathers who held Christian ideals, but weren’t necessarily Christians. Isn’t a “cultural Christian” just a person going to hell?
 
A lot of the God, Guts and Guns crowd would qualify for that title.

The editors of Christian Science Monitor ought to know.

The article mentions Richard Dawkins, probably the most famous atheist alive, recently joined the “cultural Christian” movement. I’m focusing on the subjects of the article. Which authors are you referring to?

I'm referring to the publication. Along with those you have mentioned, Christian Science "organization" is the epitome of "cultural Christianity".
 
Insofar as "cultural Christians" enjoy the traditions and values of Christianity and strive to keep them, it seems to me that "cultural Christianity" is a benefit to society.

Spiritually, it's a different matter. A cultural Christian is merely drowned in 90 feet of water instead of 100 feet of water. I live only a few miles from one of the most unreached parts of the world. Quebec was basically Catholic until the 1960s, when the Silent Revolution secularized the province. Quebecois may be culturally Catholic--for example, there's a lot of resistance to other religions gaining ground in Quebec--but only 1% of them are Bible-believing Christians.

I didn’t even know that it was actually Christian. I always thought it was related to the that Christian Science cult organization.
