  That is an odd way to put it. What about all the "faithful Christians" who do not think like he does, who don't think homosexual acts are sinful? It would make more political sense if Tim Farron simply said "as a faithful evangelical protestant." Or as a faithful member of such and such a parish or church community with which he is identified. But he didn't. Instead, he made his particular corner of Christianity appear more real and universal than the broad sweep of Christianity everywhere -- like the guy who thinks his particular Google map is more real than the soil all over Europe. Talk about insularity carried to the bitter end!!!
