    Forgot a very important verse last time.

    Al-Baqara:286
    "On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear...."

    And people shouldn't despair of God's mercy.

    Al-Baqara:143
    "... God will surely not lose sight of your faith-for, behold, God is most compassionate towards man, a dispenser of grace."

    Wrongly then :)

    There's no question that religion affects the culture it is in. But if someone ceases to be of that religion then they shouldn't consider themselves "cultural Muslims" since they no longer consider themselves as those who submit to God.

    It is a minor point admittedly but I have heard ex-Muslims , rightly or wrongly state that they are still "cultural Muslims". Religions does impact upon society, perhaps in an ideal setting it should not, but it does. Many customs, conventions, even state constitutions have their roots in religion and whether one practices religion or not one is still a part of this culture.


    Disagree, if someone declears to be a "cultural-anything" its because they have not bothered to investigate their faith properly.
    Or they have, and dont believe in their birth faith, and are too weak to stand behind this belief.

    Most times its because people dont bother and are happy to float along in life and do as their perents have done, no matter how stupid that may be :p
