“Soft paganism” is when people “think that they’re Christian or think that they have more of a Judeo-Christian framework but are yet participating in these practices,” Miles explained. “Even if they never fully deconstruct from the Christian faith, they’ve at least essentially completely cut themselves off from any sort of [effectiveness] in culture because they’re living a double life.”
“They’re hot and cold all at the same time,” he continued. “They’re walking in ignorance or deception or willing rebellion at worst.”
