Although hardly new, by far the most effective name calling tactic currently being employed is to accuse anyone with a value system of being outside of the mainstream.

A couple of millennium ago, a man named Christ walked this earth. He was outside of the mainstream, too. In fact, he was so outside of it that he was considered a dire threat to those who were in the mainstream. That fact eventually cost him his life, but only his earthly one. He stood out though. Not only did he stand out because of his birthright, but because he went against the world, the mainstream, and sought to do what was right, even though it was unpopular.
