They think, “Jesus was cool. I like him, and I’m gonna try to be like him.” Kind of like their guiding light is what would Jesus do? But there isn’t a focus on identification, recruiting others, judging others based on their religion, fear of God, fear of punishment for sinning, respect for clergy as an authority, rituals, worship, etc. Basically, just the example of Jesus’ life.

    Maybe like nonreligious christian? I feel like the word christian doesn’t inherently imply actual religion even though it’s usually used that way, the same way identifying as a satanist can mean many different things. I’m neither a theologist nor a linguist though so maybe everything I said is nonsense
