The Creed – The whole congregation together before proceeding with the liturgy declares publicly and together the confession of their faith in either the words of the Nicene Creed or the Apostles’ Creed. Can we really expect people to adhere to these antiquated responses of belief? In a world that thrives on and consumes the 'new and improved' in an attempt to cling on to the myth of progress is it not our responsibility to provide a confession of faith that is relevant?
Perhaps more realistically a Confes(fus)sion of Faith would look like:
I believe in the non-gender specific deity of my choosing;
the Great Acquaintance,
likely and probable creator of all that I have seen
and may one day see.
I believe in myself, the one who engenders all that is,
and ever will be with regards to the Great Acquaintance.
Who was conceived by the power of my Sub-conscience
and born of my Conscience.
Who suffered under the scrutiny of this world.
I believe in the power of Science,
the American Medical Association,
the communion of scientists,
the progress of choice,
the resuscitation of my body,
and the perpetuation of my life.
Amen.

Plus if you REALLY do your homework you will find that with very rare exception everything that is now called "religion" is an extension of our consumer "culture"---do it yourself self-consoling religiosity rules---especially in the USA.
Protestant Christianity is ENTIRELY do it yourself---while pretending to be otherwise
