One must fill out an application, do an interview, and lots of other things to become a federal employee. One's affilitation with the federal government - and Federal Express - can be objectively verified.
But what must one do to become a Christian? What disqualifies one from remaining a Christian? I am not aware of any one rite of initiation (or excommunication) that is universally accepted by all denominations. Most people tend to avoid the question, for it leads to troublesome questions - for example, are Mormons really Christians? (I emphasize - I am NOT trying to link LDS to CI. But the question "are Mormons Christians?" is often asked - I even recall a thoughtful and even-handed 3-part series on the subject that was aired by the Salt Lake City Fox affiliate around 1995-96).
My point was that shunning and ostacizing those who adhere to CI is an effective and appropriate way to deal with them. It requires making a judgment - that certain beliefs are beyong the pale of the community. Doing so is not always as easy as you may think - you may want to read about that here.

You seem to have missed the point: you have stated that you do not consider believers in “Christian Identity” to be “bonafide Christians,” but nevertheless you continue to refer to such people as part of the “Christian right.” Your statements “can be objectively verified” – and they are inconsistent, to say the least.
By all means, share with us your knowledge of the subject matter.
