520 |a In "consuming the spiritual," two disparate purchase motivations arise: some individuals "live out" their intrinsic values by purchasing religious products while other individuals buy the same products, reflecting their extrinsic values, in order to "fit in."

Findings suggest that consumer groups with disparate purchase motivations exist for the same categories of Christian products. Findings also suggest two disparate motivations for those who choose not to purchase such products. This study is important in that it increases understanding of consumption in an understudied market.
