Can you be an Athiest Christian?

Yeah I know, sounds like a contradiction but hear me out.

Jesus was mortal. Ignore what the Church says about him and look at his message. Isn't that what's importaint? And if we follow in the teachings of Jesus, is that not Christianity?

Or do you need to see Jesus as God to be a Christian?
You have been ignored for common interest of mankind.

I am a terrible person and I am a typical Blowhard Liberal for being wrong about Bom.

I think you need to fully accept Christ as your savior in order to be considered Christian. Otherwise you're pulling what you want from the bible. I admit the "true christians" do it. (Feel another no true scotsman fallacy coming on) but its still not supposed to be done.

His message included explicit reference to god on any number of levels so... no.
"I want truth for truth's sake, not for the applaud or approval of men. I would not reject truth because it is unpopular, nor accept error because it is popular. I should rather be right and stand alone than run with the multitude and be wrong." - C.S. DeFord

I think that would just be Humanism.

Yeah, this. He clearly taught a deist worldview.

That's called communism.
