This very much sounds like 'belief in belief' the idea that we must believe 'something', what that something is; they never define. Most cultural Christians belong in this category in that if they were subjected to close interrogation they would admit to no firm convictions regarding what they do actually believe, they don't know what they're supposed to believe. If they attend a church at all it is to meet family and friends and or, show of the new babby or the BMW, or catch up on the latest gossip. They know as much about the story of Christianity as a pig knows about going on holiday.

Mostly harmless.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
