By that extensive a definition, every philosophy, political movement and ideological label in the world is commiting a No True Scotsman fallacy if there\\\'s any sort of internal dissent on its meaning. But Madrugada\\\'s right, it\\\'s hard to argue that \\\"a mass murderer isn\\\'t truly a believer in a religion that specifically forbids murder\\\" isn\\\'t on a whole different level than \\\"no true Braves fan would dye his hair blue\\\". This is why I don\\\'t really like Aristotlean logic: people tend just shout them out like Pokemon names in battle while ignoring the underlying emotions on both sides that are really driving the whole thing. Hence, we get these shrill, subtext-ridden edit wars over religion where the religious people are shouting that atheists are strawmanning and the atheists are shouting that religious people fail logic forever and everyone\\\'s talking past each other. And, [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement in the name of avoiding that whole mess]], I agree with leaving religion out of it.
