Can one be a Christian-Atheist or Culturally Christian, in the same way that there are Jewish Atheists?

Also, is the Bible worth reading even if you are rationally minded?

if by rationally minded you mean one who has critical thought, yes, and it'll lead you to conversion.

if you mean "i'm so extremely prideful i'm more rational than everyone", then you'll just go in biased and prideful and understand nothing.

I definately think reading the bible is worth doing if you have the interest, no matter what your beliefs about our existence are. No matter what, you'll be reading something that's informed the self-understanding and decision making of so many people across history, I find that appealing to experience in itself even as an atheist. It was very helpful to me to stop thinking what you consume has to be something you would attribute to yourself.

Just be a gnostic, its the same as being an atheist. Both reject god and the World he made.

Atheistic westerners carry Christian baggage, like humanism, trust in university system, universalism, dignity culture over honor culture etc. So yes. Most of west is culturally Christian already, even though they do not confess Jesus as their lord.

Sure

The purpose of a Christian in life is to serve as a receptacle for Jewish sins and to give his money to Jews (see Romans 15:27). You can definitely do the latter part, but I'm honestly not sure how effectively you can fulfill the former role if you do not actually worship HaSatan (Jesus) and drink his blood that is soaked with Jewish sins (eucharist).

>is the Bible worth reading even if you are rationally minded?
yes, every smart person who is not a Christian should read the Bible. That's how many anti-Jewish heroes came to where they are, see e.g. Voltaire, Dietrich Eckhardt and Prof. Kevin MacDonald. Christianity only ever got big because it started out as a movement among slaves and generally unintelligent people, the early Christians deliberately preyed on the worst elements of society. Much like Communism. It eventually got so big that it overwhelmed society, because decent people had not paid enough attention to this cancer that was festering in the sewers of the Roman cities, and cynical power-hungry elites like Constantine even promoted it because it could be used to make the population easier to control.

Best place to read the Bible is sefaria.org because it makes it easy to access Jewish commentary on practically every verse. Don't waste too much time with Christian interpretations and commentary, Christians are deluded morons. They also do not have much political power, since Christianity is at all times subservient to Judaism.

The New Testament is also a good tool to learn Koine Greek, the lingua franca of the ancient mediterranean. There's still a good number of interesting texts written in Koine that has never been translated into English.

>in the same way that there are Jewish Atheists?
Jews are an actual ethnic group bound by shared ancestry, so if that's what you want you should look into National Socialism, which is based in large part on Judaism and Zionism (e.g. the Nuremberg Laws were inspired by the book of Ezra, chapter 9).

kind of, though that requires that you at least nominally believe.

There are many kino parts. Just read it like you would any other ancient near eastern literature, if you don't like the religious aspect.

What's the point? I suppose you can go through the motions, but what would be the point of practicing Christian ways, like prayer, fasting, Bible study, and worship without believing in God?

if youre from a christian environnment and atheist, you probably already are.

not really because the whole jewish atheism thing is based on the fact that judaism is a people as well as a religion

That's because gnostics examine the world around them without averting their eyes from suffering or coping about it with extravagant and confused explanations...
