(4,261 posts)Trump, his supporters and the Right-Leaning Religionists are referred to as "Fake Christians" or "Not True Christians" as if their behaviour and policies disqualify them from being Christian. It implies that Christians are by definition "Good People" and that only non-Christians can be evil, greedy, etc.
