First I have ever heard of that until now
Christian atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian atheism is a
theological position in which the belief in the
God of Christianity is rejected or absent but the moral
teachings of Jesus are followed.
Christian atheism is related to
Jesuism, the Christian theological-philosophical movement named for its understanding of Jesus as a simple teacher of morals, in direct contrast to traditional Christianity, which claims that
Jesus is divine.
Protestantism
In the Netherlands, 42% of the members of the
Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN) are
nontheists.
[6] Furthermore, in the PKN and several other smaller denominations of the Netherlands, 1 in 6 clergy are either agnostic or atheist.
[7] A minister of the PKN,
Klaas Hendrikse has described God as "a word for experience, or human experience" and said that Jesus may have never existed.
Roman Catholic
Catholic atheism is a
belief in which the culture, traditions, rituals, and norms of
Catholicism are accepted, but the existence of God is rejected. It is illustrated in
Miguel de Unamuno's novel
San Manuel Bueno, Mártir (1930). According to research in 2007, only 27% of Catholics in the Netherlands considered themselves
theist, while 55% were
ietsist or nontheist, and 17% were
agnostic...........
The vast majority of the Catholic population in the Netherlands is now largely irreligious in practice.
