Get the hypochristianity mug.
(N) A person who states that they are a Christian, believe in Christian values, and may even preach the gospel, yet are hateful and unforgiving. Such a person will often talk of the love of Jesus, will talk of morals, will talk of doing good, but will hold people to high expectations, may be judgmental, and extremely prideful.

(1) Much like a hypocrite, a hypochristian is one who acts and/or self-proclaims themselves to be a Christian or have Christian-like qualities, beliefs and virtues in public, church or anywhere else people can observe them.

(2) A person who judges and sets Christian-like standards for other people, even though they do not possess the same particular characteristics/qualities.

Contraction of the words 'hypocrite' and 'Christian'. Any Christian who claims to follow the teaching of Christ but whose belief structure, values and/or actions directly contradict such a claim. Typically, hypochristians support things such as the Death Penalty, engage in heavily in proselytizing and judgement of others whose beliefs differ from theirs. Additionally, they often oppose things that go against their beliefs such as gay marriage, evolution, and other scientific law amidst wide amounts of ethical, scientific, moral, and logical arguements (even within their own supposed claim of beleifs) that would prove otherwise. Hypochristians are best categorized as individuals so stubbornly and fanatically devoted to their beliefs that they border on sheer stupidity.

From the combination of "hypocrite" (one who does not practice what they preach) and "Christian".

A Hypochristian is a person who claims to be an upstanding "moral" Christian, but passes all sorts of judgment on anyone who doesn't think EXACTLY like they do.
My family is a bunch of Hypochristians; they nearly disowned me when I chose to come out to them.
