I am afraid we shall remain squishy. Too many people are attached to "indefinitions". For example, over 90% of Americans say they believe in God, and only half of one percent say they are agnostics, less that they are atheists, while non- Christian religions make up merely several percentage points of the total. Thus, there is a significant overlap between seculars and those who believe in God in some sense, but are unaffiliated (rather like me). Similarly, there are a lot of people who take comfort from belonging to a Christian church who would express dubiousness over the Incarnation and actual disbelief over the Resurrection. I have known liberal Roman Catholics who preferred the term "the Resurrection experience", referring to the Apostles, acknowledging that something happened that they interpreted as Christ rising from the dead, but denying that it actually occurred. So the borderland is rather fuzzy.......
