This version of Christianity is a facade [the "Sunday Christian" phenomenon], a method for practicioners to appear like fine, upstanding citizens without allowing the claims and teachings of Jesus to bite very hard into everyday life. With the death of Christendom, the game is up. There's less and less reason for upstanding citizens to join with the Christian community for the sake of respectability or acceptance... leaving only the faithful behind to rediscover the Christian experience as it was intended: a radical, subversive, compassionate community of followers of Jesus.
