That can turn quite a lot rubbier if you ask him if he's a Christian, a True Christian, or a ... Munafiq Christian.
In Islam, a munāfiq (n., in Arabic: منافق, pluralmunāfiqūn) is a hypocrite who outwardly practices Islam while inwardly concealing his disbelief ( kufr ), perhaps even unknowingly. The Quran has hundreds of ayat (verses) discussing munāfiqūn,[1]referring to them as more dangerous to Muslimsthan the worst non-Muslim enemies of Islam.
You know that is almost an accurate description! Except that don't inwardly disbelieve and outwardly believe, I outwardly disbelieve in some bits, but try to follow it anyway. Cherry picking in fact. Actually I an openly agnostic about the factual accuracy of most of the bible, it's not so much disbelief as indifference. If the whole thing is nothing but a parable it still has value to me. I'm quite comfortable with that. I believe the teachings of Jesus, in particular the sermon on the mount, are for the most part beautiful, relevant and worth following.
If that makes me more dangerous to Christianity than the worst non Christian enemies of Christianity, that should not be a problem here.

Out of interest does the Qu'ran say what is to be done with munafiq s?
