Get the s'idacmacbifttoj mug.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.

Get the S'idacmacbifttoj mug.An individual who rejects the identifying label “Christian” while simultaneously believes Jesus Christ is god. The term originated in the early 70’s and is an acronym for “So…I don’t actually call myself a Christian, but I do follow the teachings of Jesus”. The apostrophe in the official spelling of s’idacmacbiftoj represents the audible pause (“…”) between “so” and “I” in the acronym. Sidacmacally is the adverb form of the word.
“I really don’t like to put myself in a box so. All that Christianity stuff is weird! But I do think Jesus is god. I guess you could call me a s’idacmacbiftoj”, he said sidacmacally.
