    I’m guessing a cultural Muslim means you pretend to practise for the sake of the family. That doesn’t make you a Muslim. Unless cultural Muslim means something else.

    My husband was born a Muslim. He does not practise Islam nor does he identify as Islamic but he respects their beliefs.

      I guess the meaning of ‘Cultural Muslim’ depends on your intention. My wifes family are Cultural catholics which I understand to mean they are raised in the culture of catholicism with all its history, language and practise, but they are not church regulars.

        I see. I know a few Catholics like your wife her family. It was the “almost Muslim” that threw me because it’s not quite how that works.

        I am glad that people are thinking outside the box in terms of religion.
