I'm talking more about situations like Mormonism, where Mormons claim they are Christians, and most Christians view them as, at best, heretics. Instead of saying "Mormons aren't Christian," it's better to say "Mormons believe these things, which are improper as they relate to Christianity."
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
