I guess all who want to be more critical, and dubious about the set of norms, tend to be against the Church. — javi2541997

These days, people are usually not thrown out of main stream churches for disagreements over theology. Back in the 1980s, two theologians studied what active church members in Minnesota actually claim to believe. The results were sometimes very surprising. About 7% of active church participants did not believe in the resurrection, for instance. Were the study,
Faith and Ferment, repeated today, it is likely that the results would show decline in belief in basic tenets, like the resurrection,
