A false dilemma is a type of informal, correlative-based fallacy in which a statement falsely claims or assumes an "either/or" situation, when in fact there is at least one additional logically valid option. For example, somebody uses false dichotomy when they say, "Stacey spoke out against socialism, therefore she must be a fascist." She may be neither socialist nor fascist, or a socialist who disagrees with portions of socialism. Another example is, "Roger opposed an atheistic argument against Christianity, so he must be a Christian." This reasoning assumes the opposition by itself means he's a Christian. Roger might be an atheist who disagrees with the logic of some particular argument against Christianity. Additionally, it can be the result of habitual tendency, whatever the cause, to view the world with limited sets of options.
