22. Nope. "Deeply religious" and "murderous bastard" are actually oxymorons.

What we need to do is stop calling things what they ain't. Hypocrites and heretics are not "religious," they just insist on the label.

A "religious" person is one who actually tries to follow the tenets of his faith. Not someone who mouths them and ignores them.
