I think the Christians you are describing are probably Catholic diests


I was describing Protestants, but I suppose the disbelief in a literal-biblical God is shared by most Catholics as well. I also agree that thinking about the religious implications of death and suffering might naturally lead to moving away from such a God. Some have already finished those thought processes, others are a little slower.

However this is unrelated to the ICC trial of the fundamentalist God, which begins to look quite bad for Him.
