(n.) 1) a demagogical, radical-right-wing evangelical, most often Christian, that believes that the Bible is the inerrant word of God and must therefore be taken literally.
2) a right-wing Christian shill with an
internet presence, frequently associated with so called "pro
family" groups that rarely help
real families at all, but will make up virtually anything to
get people to donate
money to promote narrow interpretations of scripture and repress progressive political agendas.
3) an individual that engages in bigoted attacks based on narrow interpretations of Biblical morality under the cover of ecclesiastical authority and who usually makes false claims of victimhood when challenged.
The demonizing lies, half-truths, appeals to
junk-science, and outright distortions of legitimate scientific studies were typical of a Talibangelist.
