Having an understanding of semantics is absolutely necessary for any kind of discourse, reasonable or otherwise. If you reject the standard and demonstrated definition of a word, you're rejecting the language. I don't know or care what "Christian" means in Cynosure-ese, I know and care about what it means in English. This conversation is happening in English, therefore we use the actual definition of "Christian", not whatever definition you want.
Christian: a person who believes in Jesus Christ.
If you don't like it, go lobby Webster.
