Bible beater also known as Bible basher | North America | Christian's pentecostal denomination | A dysphemism for people who believe in the fundamentalist authority of the Bible, particularly those from a Pentecostal or fundamentalist denomination.[1] It is also a slang term for an evangelising Christian. Commonly used universally against Christians who are perceived to go out of their way to energetically preach their faith to others. | [1][2][3] |
Bible thumper | United States | Christian people | Someone perceived as aggressively imposing their Christian beliefs upon others. The term derives from preachers thumping their hands down on the Bible, or thumping the Bible itself, to emphasize a point during a sermon. The term's target domain is broad and can often extend to anyone engaged in a public show of religion, fundamentalist or not. The term is most commonly used in English-speaking countries. | [4] |
Cafeteria Christian | United States | Selection of Christian doctrines | Used by some Christians, and others, to accuse other Christian individuals or denominations of selecting which Christian doctrines they will follow, and which they will not. | [5] |
Chuhra | Pakistan | Lower-class Christians and menial workers; later used against any Christian in general. Also used against Pakistani Hindu people. | Derived from Shudra, the fourth and lowest Hindu caste, whose members consisted of labourers and cleaners. Because menial jobs were reserved for religious minorities, the term was later used against non-Muslims in Pakistan, especially Christians. | [6][7] |
Fundie | United States | Christian fundamentalist | Shortening of fundamentalist. Usually used to mean a Christian fundamentalist. | [8] |
Isai, Saai | Pakistan | Christian people | From Isa, the name of Jesus Christ from the Qur'an as a prophet of Islam. The term literally means "[person/people] of Jesus", but it later meant "street sweeper" or "labourer". | [9] |
Rice Christian, Rice bag | United Kingdom, India | Material benefiting Christians, Christians (in general, especially from the northeast) | Someone who has formally declared themself a Christian for material benefits rather than for religious reasons.

Latter Day Saint movement
Term | Location of Origin | Targeted Demographic | Meaning Origin and Notes | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mormon | United Kingdom | Latter Day Saint | Term for a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) which was coined by early opposition and put into use by newspapers in Missouri and Illinois who didn't want to refer to the Latter-day Saints as Christians or Saints, and so used a word from one of their books of scripture, the Book of Mormon. Early leaders spoke out against this use of the term due to revelation given about the church's name,[33] but because of broad use in the press and by locals who opposed the church, it remained in colloquial use. To this day, many refer to the LDS Church as the "Mormon Church," though leaders have been asking to be referred to by their proper name since 1838. However, the term "Mormon" has been used in the church's television advertising to refer to its members. There has been a renewed effort starting in 2018 to avoid the use of the term. There is some disagreement within the LDS Church if the term is offensive, or just less preferred. Some style guides consider "Mormon" to be the appropriate term in many historical (Mormon pioneers, Mormon Battalion, Mormon Trail) and demographic contexts, as Mormons are not exclusively members of the LDS Church. There are other denominations in which the term is not offensive and may be preferred. (List of denominations in the Latter Day Saint movement) | [34][33][35][36][37][38] |
Molly Mormon | United Kingdom | Latter Day Saint | Term for the stereotype of a "perfect" female member of LDS Church. | [39] |
Jack Mormon | United Kingdom | Latter Day Saint | 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. | [40] |
Jews
For the word Jew itself as a perceived or actual slur, see Jew (word).
Most of these 'slurs' are of Jewish origin and part of the Yiddish language as referenced beside each word.
