From an article about Fred Thompson's candidacy:
"In a follow-up phone conversation, Focus on the Family spokesman Gary Schneeberger stood by Dobson's claim [that Thompson wasn't a Christian.]. He said that, while Dobson didn't believe Thompson to be a member of a non-Christian faith, Dobson nevertheless "has never known Thompson to be a committed Christian—someone who talks openly about his faith."
"We use that word—Christian—to refer to people who are evangelical Christians," Schneeberger added."
And here I thought Christian meant "people who follow the teachings of Jesus" or some such thing. (I'm willing to listen to the argument that "Christian" means "believes that Jesus is the son of God," although it's not my current definition.) Silly me.
