I always wondered what "not practicing" meant...

Doesn't go to church or take the sacraments if that's relevant in that church.

Why would you even identify with that Church? It was sort of a loaded question: In my opinion, if you believe what that church says, then by logic you should follow its rules or at least try. Instead you get to identify as Christian but none of the responsibilities.

Certain churches, like Greek Orthodoxy, have a strong cultural element to them that is divorced of the religious element.  Have you ever met someone that identified as a secular Jew?  It's the same concept.

Ah, the blissfully unknowing self-righteousness of the young extremist. The real world is going to come as a horrible shock when you come into contact with it for the first time.

It's sometimes - probably not in this case but that's not the point - a little different even to that, at least in places (or within subcultures) where the social pressure to attend Church (or whatever) has collapsed. Obviously that's not a massive issue in America, but not totally alien I think.

Protestant.  I don't read or attend church as much as I should though.  Nor do I deny that I'm without doubt.
