@PhilosophyExp there are some who self-identify as Christian atheists. Some theologians - Cupitt, DZ Phillips, Kaufman, e.g..
Amusing statistic from Battleground God (http://bit.ly/YQuGYi ): 6% of people who self-identify as Christian believe God does NOT exist.

@sjggraham I'm aware - the Sea of Faith movement. But 6%...!? (Also, agnosticism is offered as an option.) -
@PhilosophyExp I've even read theologians arguing that Christ was an Atheist. Anyhow, agreed, 6% seems high. -
.
@sjggraham Well, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" is kind of haunting... -
@PhilosophyExp very much so, but strongly theistic nonetheless.

@PhilosophyExp@gerogiorgakis1 Christian atheism has a distinguished theological pedigree, given classic expression by Thomas J.J. Altizer -
@Rokewood@gerogiorgakis1 I'm well aware of movements such as The Sea of Faith. But not 6% of Christians - that's way too high. -
@PhilosophyExp@gerogiorgakis1 S of F is more post-theist than Xtian atheist. Altizer's (now 87) Gospel of Xtian Atheism is serious stuff
