A Question For christian atheists ONLY...?

There is no such thing. An atheist doesn't believe that there is a god or other higher being.

A believer is the opposite. Christian, Muslim, Jew, Jain, Hindu, and so on all believe that there is a supreme being. Their religious faith is based on that belief.

In other words they are opposite ends of a spectrum.

No such venture. An atheist believes in NO god/desses. that would desire to incorporate Allah,Ganesh, Kali, Isis, Thor, Gaia, Danu, etc...maximum English speaking shoppers are on right here and are raised Christian, yet i might say my morals & ideals are from a mix of empathy & society. i'm professional-determination, and so are many Xians and that i'm additionally vegetarian. The Bible is amazingly contradictory. That total 'no longer killing' venture? a lot of Xians do no longer seem to have a situation with production unit farms, the loss of life penalty or going to conflict. And in case you study the OT, you do no longer might desire to pass a ways to study some tale the place the 'chosen ones' are commanded to kill. There are over 30,000 Xian denom's obtainable...there's a reason.

According to their website I read many years ago, they are people who don't believe in the existence of any gods, yet found inspiration in the teachings of Jesus. They obviously don't accept that Jesus is the son of a god, or a god himself, but was a thoughtful person who had a good way of looking at the world.

I don't like the term, since Christ is defined as being the Messiah, and they don't believe that Jesus was a messiah. But Jesus Atheists doesn't sound as catchy, so they were limited in their choices.

The only thing I can think of is an atheist who was originally (raised or otherwise) christian.

Prolific Atheist author, Michel Onfray, coined the term "Christian Atheist" as a pejorative attack against his fellow atheists who adhered to Judeo-Christian ethics; even though they reject the Judeo-Christian God.

Its a criticism of atheists such as Richard Dawkins who has labelled himself to be a "cultural Christian".

What's a christian atheist?

Xtian atheists, aka "cultural Xtians" are people who self-identify as being Xtian due to their culture or upbringing, but do not believe in gods. They may also follow the tenets or even practices of Xtianity, but do not believe in gods.

They are far more common than people think.

Traditionally, a Christian atheist was someone who greatly respected Jesus' teachings but didn't believe in God. I have occasionally referred to myself as a Christian atheist on the grounds that God is experientially real, but He evidently is not real.

We are atheists that are christian or was it christians that are atheists?

It sounds about as ridiculous as "Judeo-Christian."
