I didn't mean you directly. I was originally getting your opinion on the use of the word. But thanks for clearing up my speculations on your answers.

No. Are all of them lying? Also no. People don't all fit into the same category, Ron. Some are sincere in their beliefs, some aren't. Some are outright lying, others aren't. I wouldn't dream of speculating about the ratio of that; I have no access to people's inner thoughts any more than you do. But I am realistic.
That cool with you?
Yeah. I'm seeing now, that the use of the word "ALL" is subjective.
But, that is a problem to me. Because I, as many many Christians don't fit the "bad" stereotypical profile that is the narrative here. And, that is my biggest gripe with you guys!
The intelligent ones here are willing to agree that most Christians are not like the few clowns, and news-makers.... yet I am measured by them continually!
I don't think that is fair, or honest. And that was my original point.
And to ask in a truthful way.... What fun is it for you, and the others to acknowledge the vast majority of "good" Christians? That wouldn't support your disdain for religion. Correct? Because clearly, its only a tiny percentage of BAD Christians you are pointing to.
So, you are not "ALL" being 100% honest.
Am I right? And if not, why am I wrong?
