Consider a multiple choice with only one selection that does not include All the Above.
A self -professed Christian who attends church, and is a neonazi who has verbally and physically assaulted minorities is most accurately defined as a:
a) Christian
b) hypocrite
c) Christo-fascist
d) American Taliban
Same option for a Dominionist who wants to criminalize homosexuality and implement a government ruled by a Christian theocracy.
