I learned a neat word in a previous thread that I think describes many non-denominational churches.

Quote:
Antitheism, the position that religion is destructive, is held by those who are opposed to religion on the basis that it promotes conflict among those who do not share the same beliefs.
Most non-denominational people/churches think that God is what should be worshipped, not the Church. They're antitheistic Theists (tongue twister). They want to be able to say "Yes, I worship GOD" without having the stigma that even I am guilty of automatically assigning.

Pretty good way to go, if you ask me.

As a side note, denomination is a very difficult word to type. I had difficulty with it myself, but I wonder about the threads' spelling: demoninational.... Freudian Slip?

[edited for spelling -- twice.]
