It is the danger of "cafeteria Christianity," which lets people mix and match traditions any way they want, without discipline and without accountability.

The archbishop warned that “based on a relativistic understanding of the Christian faith and a conditional adherence to the Church, some Catholics seek to construct a Christianity and, consequently, a Church to their own liking, unilateral and outside the identity and mission that Jesus Christ has fundamentally given us.”}}</ref>

|A non-faithful LDS person or a non-Mormon altogether. ''Jack Mormon'' is usually used by non-Mormons to describe Mormons that do not follow the [[Word of Wisdom]] (dietary and health practices that exclude the use of tobacco or alcohol) and by Mormons to describe members that do not sufficiently follow practices. It is also used by Mormons to describe those who were Mormon but remain friendly to the church. It may be applied to ex-Mormons who have repudiated the church and its teachings but that is a rare usage.

|Jews

|Possibly from the [[Yiddish]] word for '[[circle]]', {{Lang|yi-latn|kikel}}'','' It was suggested by [[LeightonLeo zarcoffRosten]] that the term originates from Jews who entered the United States at [la[Ellis Island]] signed their names with a circle instead of a [[cross]] because they associated the cross with [[Christianity]].
