You say you are "atheist, but culturally christian" because you are agnostic but try to love your neighbor and fight for the poor.
I say such because I don't believe in god but I live in a catholic country that has eight public holidays of religious origin where people don't go to work (I'm just very lazy and every day in which I don't see my boss' face is a wonderful day).
Hidden beneath a superficial rationalism, they provide a seemingly intellectual defense of imperialism, push islamophobia, and use it to create a smokescreen for the injustices of global capitalism. 2,3

I don't say that I'm culturally Christian, because Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on charity and being good

Fair, I just say such because I was raised with specifically the positive aspects of Christian values.

It was primarily an Islamophobic movement in the post-Gulf War and 9/11 era.

It was a short lived thing a decade ago. This is a terrible post.
