I hear this a lot.

What is the actual meaning?

Do they mean they hate people with high morals? Or don't like people who'd stoop to their inclinations?

It's the latter... 98% most of the time.
SCENE ONE
Mr X: Mr G, if you can give my company this contract, you're getting 20% cut.
Mr G: I'm afraid I can't do that or accept the cut you offered, I believe if the board deem it fit to give your company the contract, you will surely get it.
Mr X: I just want you to put in, good words for my company.
Mr G: I'm definitely recommending the best candidate, don't worry.
*Mr X gets home

Mr X to wife: That man didn't even look, my face.
Wife: Don't sweat, I believe it's yours.
Mr X: I don't even like churchy person like that, refusing a whole 20% cut.

SCENE TWO
Bf: Baby, I'm really so hot right now. Let's get down
Gf: Boo, you've forgotten we both agree to do "it" after we get married?
Bf: I know, we both agreed. But what's the difference there sef, if we have it now or later?
Gf: Okay fine, we have it now and we later break up. What does that mean? My virginity gone for a man, I'm not getting married to?
Bf: See where your thoughts went to, this your churchy behavior is annoying sometimes

When one is so obsessed by zealous adherence to the forms or beliefs of a church.

People say you're too churchy when they can't get you to partake in their shenanigans such as drinking, smoking, fornicating etc

Some times being churchy could mean someone being hypocritic, non flexible and also having low empathy.
Some times people are just saying you are not compatible with them and don’t want to be reminded of their inadequacies. I had a friend who liked this girl, she refused his advance towards her that he was too churchy.

Often it's as a result of being an hypocrite.

Even Christ dined with the tax collector.

We're all guilty.

Even the Pharisees pointed at Christ



While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Matthew 9:10‭-‬13 NIV

Often we need to come down. Be spiritually poor, make friends with those we perceived as sinners. Then we can introduce Christ to them.

I believe that's part of lifestyle evangelism.

May God continue to transform us.

Most people just feel everyone should be flexible in nature so that you can be tossed here and there like the waves of the sea! Isaiah 57:20 compare to Revelations 21:1 smiley

Churchians, as I prefer to call them, are indeed those steeped in the doctrines and traditions of churches, cults, Assemblies etc., than in any teachings that have to do with God. undecided

There beliefs are typical superficial and born of a closed mind and certainly not of a mind focused on Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ showed up in person, the Churchian standard would cast Him as a sinner or as one that is of the world. undecided

What it means is they are not practicing Christianity the way Jesus intended it to be practiced so anyone who does makes them uncomfortable so they claim you're churchy.

This is different from being a hypocrite church goer o.

For example, if you're seen as churchy, your friends might not involve you in things they know you won't do, like gambling, fraud, chuachua, bribery, etc.

Most people in this category are dull and lack social life. they mostly post things about church programs and pastors. they see their pastor as God and always do what he says even if they are being misled.
Sometimes, they dress like archaic and uncivilized being just to be seen as modest. They see people who doesn't practice their faith as devil and all they talk about is church service from monday to sunday.
Lastly, they are hypocrite.
