You are conflating belief systems and behavioral patterns. Christianity is a belief system populated by folks who follow Christ as Lord. Full stop.

This Kumbaya Collective you describe is a behavioral pattern that many folks take part in. Some of them may happen to be Christian, others may not.

But to observe that some Christians are part of the Kumbaya Collective and then go on to imply that being part of the collective is a “simple form” of Christianity is a categorical error.

Behaviour does not imply Faith.

I believe you are committing the no true Scotsman fallacy, by claiming Christianity is a belief in Christ as lord.

I myself was raised in a Christian organization that did not believe Christ was lord, but rather a person sent by god to show us by example, how to be, spiritually, in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. They also don’t believe in the holy trinity.

So do consider that you do not speak for all Christian’s and not all Christian’s hold the same beliefs.

A better word is Disciple, this was the original usage of the term and a description which your group would seem to match. Of course, all of the original disciples considered Jesus to be their Lord and this terminology was used extensively throughout both the new and old testaments. Regardless, your case is more fitting the other thread than this one. That’s about folks who call themselves Christian despite not being particularly interested in Christ. This is about the claim that somehow being a “good guy” makes one Christian. (Or even is Christianity)
