they self-identify as both Christian and Atheist

"Christ was not the Son of God, because there is no God, but we should follow his teachings anyways"?

Maybe Christianity is hermeneuticly true.

"Christ was not the Son of God, because there is no God, but we should follow his teachings anyways"?

I don't remember, but most likely something like this. (Maybe with some "cosmic law" or "cosmic energy" added for better effect.)

Now this completely does not represent Christian viewpoint (we should follow Christ precisely because he told us what God wants) or atheist viewpoint (even if Christ was a good and smart person, it is unlikely he got everything right; and even he got something right, we can discover and prove it independently).
