I have a friend who, while she was recently ordained as a minister, is involved with what is called "the historical Jesus" movement amongst some more liberal Christian clergy. They hold with the results of The Jesus Project, i.e., that Christ, if he did exist, was not divine, nor the son of God; they revere him as a teacher, a mortal one. They also feel free to reject certain of his teachings. She and I have gone around about how those who profess their beliefs can honestly call themselves "Christians" anymore, since I thought the basic tenet of Christianity was a belief in Christ's godhood and that he died for our sins. She maintains that the heart of Christian belief is his teachings, the "Christian virtues". So she feels comfortable still identifying as a Christian...tho she was willing to say that the label "post-Christian" might be a viable one... Post-Christians...that's an interesting concept...
