No, the point you were making was a bit confused.

Regardless of what the definition of atheism says, you've implied that I can be an atheist and still accept the Jesus as the son of God. Never mind the fact that the two are contradictory, admitting to being an atheist is enough to make me an atheist. At least this seems to be the stance you've taken with Christianity.

No, i didn't actually imply that you can be an atheist and still accept jesus as the son of god. The fact that you think this seems to be the stance i've taken on christianity means that you don't understand the stance i've taken on christianity.
Never the less, for you to claim that

Christian literally means follower of Christ and his teachings, not the worship of Christ. Therefore, if you're not following the teaching of Christ it would stand to reason that you're not a Christian.

doesn't really mean all that much in the context of the current discussion, since there are a whole lot of completely divergent, yet essentially reasonable ways to follow christ and his teachings.
But, i guess you're one of those folks who thinks that there is only one correct way to "follow" christ and his teachings, which means that you're one of those folks who is wrong. But let me guess, the way that you interpret the teachings of christ is the correct one, and anyone who interprets them differently is wrong, right? So what's your denomination and when was the last time it changed its mind about something jesus-y?

You should start a new brand of christianity that allows interracial marriage.
