Considering themselves affiliated with the religion in question, but
not actually attending services, etc. on any sort of regular basis.
Weddings and funerals, and sometimes baptisms, but I believe that
they tend to discourage baptism of babies when the parents aren't
committed to bringing up the child as practicing the religion. Easter
and Christmas for some non-practicing Christians, perhaps.
