 JOLLYBLOGGER: Copycat Christianity
For me, it seems obvious that this "copycat Christianity" is a bad thing, although, as I say that I have to now go back and think of how many t-shirts I have bought in the past that fit this pattern.
JOLLYBLOGGER has a post about "Copycat Christianity." The concern is over the effect of privatization of religion where secular commercial slogans and jingles are remade into Christian sayings.
