There is no such thing as a "real" Jew. You are either Jewish or you aren't. Queen Elizabeth I once said she had no desire to open windows into men's souls. No one else can judge your devoutness nor should anyone try. I don't understand why Christians put up with other people telling them they aren't "real" Christians. From what I understand, if you accept Jesus as your savior, then you are a Christian. The rest is just details.

I'm a REAL Witch and would actually be at least slightly offended if someone thought I was not a real Witch. I in no way pretend to be anything else.
If people can not accept me as a Witch, then they should just walk on by because it is a part of me I will not deny for anyone or anything.
I am not afraid to tell christians that come up to me trying to convert me, that I am a Witch and have had to call the police more than once for people trying to forcibly convert me.
Most people that get to know me before the subject comes up, might not understand but they see the type of person I am and they accept me as a human being deserving of their respect because I live my life according to my beliefs and they see it really is not bad.

I am fairly sure some Buddhists would prefer to disown the ones in Sri Lanka who are out killing Tamils..., so yes, I guess it is open to anyone who wishes to use it. Similarly you may wish to argue that real Hindus don`t beat up Christian evangelists in India?

It's a pettiness not limited to Christians.

No, anyone can use it. We just consider Christianity especially full of hypocrisy and term 'real' to those who live it and do not just speak it.
