Christofascism has been coined by a legimate author, which I referenced in the description of the term. The term itself is constructed much like an already accepted term: islamofascism.

Christofascism is a term that is widely used now to described those who would elevate Christian morality above personal liberty. We need a term to describe such a belief system. Christofascist fits the bill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.249.143.2 (talk) 20:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I didn't make any personal attacks in this article. I simply explained what a term meant. Are we to never have any articles because somebody doesn't like the content? Are we not supposed to have an article about "communism" because people don't like communism?

This term enjoys widespread use and is even defined in Wiktionary. RRUser (talk) 21:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

This article was deleted once before. I proposed its deletion again. Organized off site attacks are taboo. Here:

There is no offsite attack. I don't even know what that means. It's the policy of wikipedia to have many people help out writing an article. Just because you don't LIKE the term christofascist doesn't mean the concept doesn't exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adwads (talk • contribs) 19:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Usage"

Is it just me or does the "Usage" section seem like a rather conspicuous place to voice personal political opinions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.58.205.51 (talk) 16:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I've added a bit of context to the section, but not removed the banner/template because I'm also not convinced of the value of the section - is this to show that the term is in fact used? Because if so, it's not particularly persuasive - the first example is a letter to the editor (normally not acceptable in Wikipedia, as, per WP:V, it's considered to be "self-published"), the second a formal opinion piece that uses the term "Judeo-Christofascists" rather than "Christofascists". In short, if this is the best that can be done, then one could conclude that the word in fact has no common usage. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
