It tickles me no end to see the enormity of effort Christians put into distancing themselves from Christianity.
It would seem obvious to a person of reasonable intelligence that if you have an Albatross tied round your neck, running away isn't going to accomplish much of anything; you must cast off the foul thing altogether.
(Geek point: "Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck... til some idiot killed it.")
I believe it's more them trying to distance themselves from orthodoxy (aka the strict rules from the Catholics, etc.) than Christianity.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
