Faithsplaining 

The act of someone from outside a religion trying to explain aspects of that religion to someone who practices it. Note: It isn't always derogatory not everyone reads their own holy book and not every outsider is ill informed, but it does often come off as annoying to the person receiving the explanation.
Buddhist: "So yeah my religion is Buddhism"

Atheist: "Akshually Buddhism isn't a religion"

*The Buddhist in a full Kasaya and shaven bald*

Buddhist: "Are you literally Faithsplaining to a monk?"

factsplaining

fact·splain | \ ˈfact-ˌsplān

factsplained; factsplaining

Definition of factsplain
transitive + intransitive

: the uninvited and condescending effort of a third party (usually, though not always, on social media platforms) to offer extraneous information (“context”) or further explanation on a given subject/topic, while invariably posing itself as objectively factual, despite its content and purpose invariably being the promotion or defense of a partisan (progressive, leftist) idea, premise, value, cause, figure, etc.

It is often characterized by cloaking subjective opinions and partisan perspectives amidst the excessive use of officious-sounding terms and declarations such as “Ruling” “Context” “Evidence” “Credible” “Finding” “Determination” “Conclusion” “Result”, etc. or may strive to confirm or deny information on the basis of mere nuance, minor technicalities, irrelevancies, or other specious rationale.

In both form and content, factsplaining attempts to discredit the original information, although rarely if ever actually doing so, and its presence therefore may best be understood as a strong indicator of the original content’s truth or accuracy.

Prominent factsplainers: Factcheck, Politifact, Snopes, Reuters, AP

See also: bias, propaganda, spin, gaslighting, censorship, partisanship
“I shared that post about Bernie Sanders owning 3 homes, but the factsplaining said it wasn’t true - his wife actually is actually a co-owner as well…”

When fat people explain why they are fat to fit people.
"Calorie deficits don't work. I read a study on Huffington Post about metabolism, you need to do your research, let me explain the science you, it's why I weigh 300 lbs and it has nothing to do with my lifestyle choices."

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.
