Intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity seems to take on the same meaning for most researchers. Intrinsic religiosity is one which religious values is strongly internalized and serves as a guide for organizing one's life commitments. People with intrinsic religious orientation search for the truth. Extrinsic religiosity, in contrast, is largely utilitarian and serves as a means to acquire status, security, self-justification, and other personal goals.

A common example of why Christians (and I use the term lightly) are not as welcome by others is because many of them are strictly extrinsic (the whole "consumer Christianity" thing).

I, personally, am intristic in my belief, and try to, when I do discuss religion, discuss it objectively.
