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

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.
