i agree with you, hence i usually place those people in the 2nd category that i described in the op, "those searching for christ." we may not know who is or isn't truly following christ, but regardless of this we must do our best to promote the values of christ that made our civilizations so great in the first place. in the end, they may deceive themselves, they may deceive others, but they cannot deceive god. matthew 7:21-23 true and false disciples 21 not everyone who says to me, lord, lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven. 22 many will say to me on that day, lord, lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? 23 then i will tell them plainly, i never knew you. away from me, you evildoers! so for those people who do not have a genuine relationship with christ and who are only going through the motions. i genuinely hope that they are able to find christ so that they may genuinely follow him.
