i don't. usually i call 'em something like "the best band you've never
heard" (though not when speaking to these listies.)

um, to take a non-christian stab at the answer.....exploring their faith?
trying to balance what they believe with what they see? using other
authors reflections on christianity to augment their own, to perhaps come
up with another perspective? to lead a little, rather than follow blind?

if i take your argument on face value and grant you that they do "fail like
5th grade baby", does that make them non-christian? isn't a failed 5th
grader still considered a 5th grader? and if i don't take your argument
on face value, well, then i might ask you something like "who are you to
judge them/me/us/other christians/anyone but yourself? but i won't do
that. i'll accept your 5th grade argument.
