"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King

although i would have never picked it out of the line-up...most everything does seem to fit.
Private Christians
Largest and youngest segment - not counting grey hairs...and im not THAT large.
Believe in God and doing good things - yup
Own a Bible, but don't read it - not really....i read it quite frequently. id guess my bible knowledge to be slightly above average. but i place it on a much lower pedestal than others.
Spiritual interest, but not within church context - yup
Only about a third attend church at all - we attend church about one time a month. we go to a 'small group' at the church, but dont attend church proper.
Almost none are church leaders - not a leaderbone in my body

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

My comment about Westboro was mainly sarcastic, to indicate the limitations of this sort of survey, which takes some pre-conceived categories in order to fit people into a tidy set of boxes - and people aren't as tidily boxable as that, which results in a lot of people finding themselves in company they would not ncessarily have chosen. For example, I did another one of these the other day, and found myself classed as "Modern Liberal", which in one sense is fair enough - but it's a category that would appear to include those who who don't think the Resurrection matters. Not I.

As for Westboro: well, whatever we may think of them, they call themselves Christian, which of course is a problem.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
