    What you are doing is saying they are not really Christians because they do or don’t do X and that is exactly what the fallacy is.

    Are priests who molest children not real Christians?

    Atheist is different because it is a singular thing, like calling that priest a child molester. He did the thing so that is what he is.

        Not.

        An atheist who believes in god is like a vegan who regularly and knowingly eats bacon, they are using the wrong labels. Those both have narrow and clear definitions, unlike religion where there are a ton of things that vary between local practices and traditions that can be used to say that they aren’t really X religion.
