In 1995, Timothy McVeigh, a white Christian terrorist born in the USA
detonated a truck bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring more than 600.

That's...one...guy.

I do get a chuckle over how the gut nutsies minimize the mass murders
committed with guns. I guess those killings don't count because...guns.
Timothy McVeigh would himself seem to dispute your calling him a Christian.

He himself said:

In his letter, McVeigh said he was an agnostic but that he would "improvise, adapt and overcome", if it turned out there was an afterlife. "If I'm going to hell," he wrote, "I'm gonna have a lot of company." His body is to be cremated and his ashes scattered in a secret location.

So, I guess that would make him an Agnostic Terrorist.

I agree with your assessment that his bombing of the Oklahoma federal building was an act of terrorism by definition.
