    • May 7, 2006, Andrew Sullivan, ‘My Problem with Chistianism’, TIME Magazine:
      Christianism is an ideology, politics, an ism. The distinction between Christian and Christianist echoes the distinction we make between Muslim and Islamist. Muslims are those who follow Islam. Islamists are those who want to wield Islam as a political force and conflate state and mosque.
  2. (obsolete) The Christian religion.
  3. (obsolete) The Christian world; Christendom.
