'Pious fraud' (Latin: pia fraus) has been used since the
17th century to describe fraud in religion. A pious fraud
can be rationalized by arguing that the 'end justifies the
means' (e. g., in the case of Ben Carson, electing a True
Christian by whatever means necessary).

Crazy Uncle Ben wouldn't know a "True Christian" if Jesus Himself tapped Ben on the shoulder and said, "you're it".
Him: "I talked to God last night and He said I was a True Christian."
Me: "I talked to God last night, too, and He told me He was just pulling your leg."
