Finally, all of my friends have a name...

Since my college days, most of my friends have been what are sometimes pejoratively referred to as "unchurched." These are the deeply spiritual people who claim not to be "religious." Some folks think that they are consumers of spirituality and that they go where the winds blow -- but when it comes to my friends, these are intelligent people who have done their homework, and in many cases been exposed to the most despicable parts of religion. One of my friends in this category is more biblically literate than some of the people I went to seminary with. When it comes to the type of consumers these people are, I find them to be more closely related to the sheep than the goats of Matthew 25. The following article might be a bit disparaging, but I will take the title offered for my friends with the level of playfulness implied.
