What's your opinion on Liberal Religion?

I have to say, this concept of joining a religion only for ...or primarily for... superficial/social reasons, is pretty novel to me, but it's nonetheless interesting to hear your perspective Belacqua, and your experience of Buddhism, though that somehow feels different to these social theists you're describing. Though staying, as you mention... and as opposed to joining, seems more understandable; ie if there's already attachment to those sorts of things.
