I can't judge that with any certainty pertaining to every scenario, but I can observe and develop personal opinions based on whether they actually follow the doctrines of their religion or not.
For examples, some "Christian" people hold signs that say "God hates fags" or whatever. Well, (in Christian doctrine) God doesn't actually hate anyone. They clearly misunderstand or are just plain going against the teachings of Christianity, and therefore in my eyes aren't actually Christian. They might be something else... some other fringe religion based on some confused or mis-construed aspects of Christianity, but they are saying something else.
That's pretty black and white to me.

You decry the judgemental ######bags, but you have to admit that you go on to do a fair amount of judging yourself.
The people you judge to be "non-Christian" would, as you well know, consider you to be the same. They would say you are going against the teachings of Christianity and that you misunderstand or misconstrue the whole business.
Who is right?
