He did not say "real Christian". He said "real Christianist". This is very different in the same way that "Islamist" is different from "Muslim". The "-ist" words mean that the person believes their faith should be used as governmental law over the land. Essentially, theocracy.
In addition, I really don't agree with you about what your holy book says. I am not willing to concede that you have a better grasp than anybody else does about supposedly "real" Christianity, if there is any such thing. In fact, I think the Bible-believers who raised me are essentially correct in much of their interpretation of scripture. Authentic Christianity follows the plain meaning of the words written by primitives thousands of years ago. What you have is modern Christianity, in which the Bible is twisted to accommodate modern civilized standards with very repugnant source material.
It's like a charming and benevolent balloon animal, made from human intestine.
