a practical view of the prevailing religious system

Optimistically however, Wilberforce believes that anyone born in a Christian society can with effort and will be practical Christians to this end, he suggests numerous scriptural passages and demonstrates how people can properly respect and incorporate doctrines into their everyday lives. Real Christianity, claims Wilberforce, is altogether less common than the inauthentic and hollow cultural Christianity that pervades society. For the author, this means strict adherence to a moral code, and backing ones faith up with consistent action that is righteous and clearly inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ. Wilberforce is eager to draw a distinction between those who merely follow the traditions and motions of Christianity as a matter of formality - so-called cultural Christians - and those who actively seek to behave and lead life in a Christian manner.
