I dont think so,.it might be a way though of helping him realizs the stupidity of his beliefs!
I don't believe you will accomplish your goal utilizing labels. I argue with my wife constantly because of her judeochristian lifestyle. I won't even qualify it as a belief because I don't think at this point she really believes it anymore. But it's a comfort zone. On the rare occasion I have called her a name it never helped the situation. Even if the label is accurate by definition, it never helps the situation.
