...it is also positive when believers interpret their faith by qualities of kindness & charity rather than by doctrines which are neither.

It is also a step in the direction of a secular humanist morality which could potentially make believing in 'God' redundant.

Religious belief in the UK has dropped very quickly. When I was in my teens & 20s, elderly ppl frequently used 'Christian' to mean 'kind.'

I'd be told 'That's very Christian of you' and 'You're a Christian' when I did something nice for them. Just meant 'That was kind.'

I haven't heard this for years. Maybe this is part of a progression. God becomes kindness, then kindness is enough on its own.

But anyway, when a religious person tells you you personify the ethos of their religion as a compliment, they do mean well.
-
And they're recognising that morality can exist outside it which is good. Yes, its a tad presumptuous too but this can be pointed out gently
