When someone believes they are christian, they are christian.
Yep, but the sub sects always argue the other sects got it wrong while they all point to other clubs whom point at them and say they got it wrong. "You aren't doing it right" is a bullshit argument. Both Bin Laden and Malala are Muslims, one was monster asshole and Malala, as kind as she is both still have the same core god and core book.
Even with atheists. Ayn Rand was an atheist, but I hate her, she had the same economic "fuck you I got mine" attitude as her Catholic worshiper fan in Paul Ryan. But Ayn was just as much an atheist as I am. How I wish others sharing my label would behave does not change the core umbrella label I may share with another atheist.
But it still not "becoming" it is adapting a position. Like having no hat on then putting a hat on. Or having a hat on, taking it off and putting another hat on, your head is still your head regardless of what hat you have on.
I didn't "become" an atheist, I simply took my Catholic hat off and put an atheist hat on. Just like a light switch is still a light switch but only switches from on to off or off to on. It isn't becoming anything new, just changing a position.
