T...I am the author of The Peculiar Life of Sundays. The distinction you point to between lapsed Christians and non-observant Christians is a fuzzy one. By lapsed Christian I mean someone who has publicly moved away from Christianity; by non-observant Christian I mean someone who doesn't go to church but never declares that he has left the church. Gosse, Emerson, Thoreau, and Stevens were raised as Christians but stated that they no longer considered themselves to be Christian, so I call them lapsed Christians. I hope this is helpful.
