There are a lot of forms of folks who practice Christianity. You will find that on a progressive Christian blog, there are people that feel very strongly in the way in which they follow this faith. These people feel that if you simply do as most people go about the faith, you are simply being religious. This is not an act that is going to get you very far, and it is not going to help others either.
A progressive Christian is more concerned about society and about the environment. They want to make sure that things are clean, so they will rather attend to things like recycling. A Christian will hopefully make sure that this is done naturally in their own home and this is what they encourage others to do. However, they will not see the environment as the main aspect of their faith. Having a relationship with God would maybe replace this.
The progressive Christian move away from the Biblical school of thought where one will provide food for the hungry, for example. Instead they believe in looking after the environment. They also want to make a different in the social justice system. Not all secular Christians believe that this is the way to go.
The biggest part of progression is that they have no problem with all of the other faiths and this is what is so different from basic Christianity. Their view is that it is all good and well to have beliefs with many other Gods. To other Christians of the secular nature this does not make sense to them because one can only serve one God.
The Christian believes in Jesus and the Jewish person doesn't. The Eastern faiths are also different and have other Gods. One can't have a multitude of Gods that you have relationships with. There are different guides that go along with the various religions as well, and one can't look at the Bible and the Torah on a day to day basis to get you through the day, for example.
The average Christian is not supposed to judge faiths like Buddhism, for example. However one is supposed to follow your chosen faith and be dedicated to it. Progressive Christianity is saying that everything is true and therefore there are different Gods that you can follow. The true Christian only has one God that they are dedicating their life to and following like a friend. All Gods can't be right because they state different things in life.
With the Islamic faith, you are taught that there is only one God. However, in Christianity there is the trinity. This refers to the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Both can't be right. One must either choose one or the other. Christians will say that what God says is perfect as well.
This is not something which builds up a personal relationship with God. One can start to see that it is very different from the principles that Christians stand for. They do not believe in helping the poor or underprivileged, like the Bible says you should. Christians have also been taught not to judge, so one can't push this movement aside, but it has to be accepted, like everything else in life.
