There is no criteria. Anyone who calls themselves Christian is a Christian. The same goes for any other religion. All religions have differing internal beliefs, so there is no objective definition of a “true believer.”

- selcuka 5y agoI believe it's not the same for any other religion. For example conversions to Judaism are overseen by a religious court.
- elteto 5y agoAn actual court in the US will probably not try to legislate whether a person is of the Jewish faith or not, _regardless_ of what some other religious "court" says. Probably (IANAL) if a person says that they observe the Jewish faith and that this is a deeply held belief, regardless of whether some religious organization recognizes him/her, that will be enough for the courts.
- selcuka 5y agoSorry, I was talking from the believer's point of view; not from a law perspective. You are probably right about that.
