Interfaith Group

And as anyone who is sentient knows, the sectarian tensions went on for decades, with a minority sect holding sway over a poorer (and more rapidly reproducing) majority sect. Talk about a recipe for disaster!

I know that Mormons who wear their beliefs lightly and regard the religion as more of a cultural thing than a religious imperative are called Jack Mormons...well I know more than a few Johnny Walker drinking, bacon munching "Jack Muslims" who value the cultural touchstones, the holidays, the feeling of closeness and community with family and friends, but who could really give a rat's patootie about what this Imam says or how the ulema think...and they most certainly don't interpret the Qu'ran literally.

Some people are completely comfortable identifying with the culture of a religion even as they are not "in good standing" with the strict theology of their faith. Of course, some faiths make it hard on people who take this approach to their religion, threatening to kick them out if they don't profess to follow every rule and believe every tenet. In these cases, I guess the "What they don't know won't hurt them" approach is probably the easier path, unless one is dedicated to being a public advocate for change!
