I have seen the term "Christianist" used a few times before. I don't
know the intent of this author, but in those cases it was meant to
indicate a person whose beliefs were more rooted in a conservative
cultural/social movement than in the Bible or the historic Christian
faith. The term was used deliberately to distinguish a person's view
as not being representative of Christianity.
