-	In [[religion]], the term '''false prophet''' is a label given to a person who is viewed as illegitimately claiming [[charismatic authority]] within a [[religious group]]. The individual may be seen as one who falsely claims the gift of [[prophecy]], or who uses that gift for [[demagogy]] or [[evil]] ends. The label 'prophet' can be extremely subjective: Without exception, someone who is considered a 'true' prophet by some people, is simultaneously considered a 'false' prophet by some others.	+
