We, in the Greater Church of God (which includes the Church of the Great God), believing that we are a remnant of that apostolic church down through the centuries (as close to the first century church's teachings as we possibly can be), are always on the lookout for Satan's counterfeits. One counterfeit Christianity that has popped up recently, not hard to spot as even secular journalists have written long articles about it, is called Cultural Christianity. It is not of God, but is something emerging out of this world, claiming in its ranks non-believers and even atheists who glom onto Christianity because they find a certain teaching politically correct, liking some of the morals of Christianity that has made Western civilization superior. Many political candidates latch onto Christianity because they hold an affection for its cultural efficacy, just as Elon Musk told Donald Trump in an interview that he was not a Christian but believes in the principles of Christianity. The new elements of Cultural Christianity show it is a Christianity stripped of Christ and His demands, and it is a syncretic Christianity marshaled to shore up a declining culture, not to help converts to salvation. They take out Christ, removing obedience to His doctrines, and then they highjack the concept to correct culture. To them, Christianity is a label or a brand. People are big into branding these days and they want to brand themselves as cultural leaders from the Christian camp. When people make a brand or a company of their services or ideals, they may not be in it as sincerely as one may think. Those who use Christianity as a brand for their own aggrandizement cannot get away with it. The handwriting on the wall says, "Cultural Christianity has been weighed and found wanting, and its days are numbered."
