S'idacmacbifttoj (pronounced Sih-Dack-Mack-Biff-Todge) is a term for people who do not consider themselves traditional Christians for any reason, but do follow the teachings of Jesus Christ from the Bible. It's a rather long acronym that is often shortened to "S'idacmac."
The full acronym stands for:
So, I don't actually consider myself a Christian but I follow the teachings of Jesus.
The term originated in the early 1970's, but was used sparingly until recently. The original use of it was somewhat tongue-in-cheek and often used as a light jab to people who were lukewarm Christians. However, more recently the word has regained popularity and has been taken back as a term for people happy to distinguish themselves from the "Bible Thumpers" and the alt-right movement of Christians. Today, S'idacmacs prefer to use this term in an effort to distance themselves from those types of believers.
S'idacmacbifttoj isn't a religion. It isn't a sect or a denomination. They don't gather together in any way or worship a specific way. The term is most often used in theology forums and live debates between theists and atheists.
The apostrophe is notably odd for an acronym, however it does serve a purpose. Most S'idacmacs describe themselves with a long pause before explaining their beliefs. They tend to say, "So... I'm not your typical Christian and I don't really adhere to the evangelical view of the Bible..." The apostrophe is replacing all of those words.

"I don't use the word Christian, but I'm a S'idacmacbifttoj."
"As a S'idacmac, I believe the most important lesson of the Bible is to love your neighbor."
