"Charlatan" is not a religion.

Again, what is the religion of someone who worships Christ?

You can use the magic words all you want, but that's not an answer.

The term used in Islamic jurisprudence for someone who claims to believe in a religion but doesn't follow it is munafiq i.e. hypocrite. I don't know what it is called in Christianity/English. But since Islam borrows a lot of concepts, some literally such as shaheed being literal translation from Greek: martyr, and I have heard Christian Arabs use "munafiq", I would think the Greek word for it will be related to hypocrisy.

Yes, I know they're hypocrites.

They still worship Christ.

What is their religion?

They still worship Christ.

And I am arguing they don't. People lie.

So now you're claiming they're atheists?
