What is a 'Sunday Christian'? Under 35% of Americans regularly attend a church. It may surprise you, but some people that are not church goers oppose gay marriage in America. |
Sunday Christians are the people who go to church on the occasional Sunday, or even less, just on holidays for some people. These people then use their "Christianity" as an excuse for whatever action they want to take. Basically hiding behind Jesus rather than using him as an example. For instance, I believe after having spent many hours in church and studying the bible as a kid that Jesus himself may not even oppose it. He was a controversial guy like that, and tended to care about people rather than organizations.
I agree that people that are not church goers currently oppose gay marraige, but do you think they think of themselves as non-religious? Most likely they had a similar upbringing to me, going to church on Sundays and Sunday school, the whole bit. Just because they aren't currently attending doesn't mean that they have to religious influence on them. I mean, 44% of people believe in Intelligent Design (this was a survey in National Geographic), which you pretty much have to be religious to believe in. "Christians" need to listen to Jesus more, and Rush Limbaugh less.
