I certainly agree with the last paragraph. Very prevalent in Utah. But saying someone is a “Good Christian Man” to me just says they attempt to live their religion.
I prefer to deal with and associate with folks that truly attempt to live by Christian ideals. To me that is just a superset of very ethical people. Hard to find folks like that, irrespective of religion or lack thereof.

I know a few Christians who meet that definition as well – demons from hell. I also know many atheists who act far more Christian than some Christians I know. And, since 1999 I’ve worked for businesses run by Jews. I’ve thus known countless Jews who are decent “Christ-like” people. I’ve also had the occasion to know some Muslims I’d trust with my life (including as a soldier). I always cringe when I hear some version of, “Oh, he’s a good Christian man…,” the implication being that means something special and thus anything other than Christian is something less, somehow untrustworthy. It is an inherently bigoted statement, without even the person saying it realizing it. For me, the very last man I will trust is the one who forwards his claimed religion as a reason to trust him. I prefer people who don’t require God looking over their shoulder to do the right and ethical thing.
