Care to help me popularize a new term for the religious right?
I don't know if this one has been done before or not: Hypochristian.

I like this term because it sums up what the religious fundie right-wing is all about, yet distinguishes between them and honest, decent people of faith.

So, whaddaya think?

7. I like that one too. Also, as a Christian myself, I separate
myself from the conservative religious right by saying that I am part of the liberal spiritual left.

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

12. That's what I was going for..
Something utterly insulting to those idiots, yet something that only a few who thought about it would "get".

15. You know what Dan Savage named after Santorum, don't you?
Read the "Savage Love" sex advice column. He decided that calling the residue left on the sheets after anal sex "Santorum".

17. A number of ways you can "read" that
Hypo as in "not enough" (hypothermia)
Hypo as in hypocrites (which is I assume how you meant it)

Interesting that they are hypo and hyper at the same time.
