a. Has an undiluted devotion to Jesus. 
b. Pursues a biblically informed view of the world.
c. Is intentional and disciplined in seeking God's direction in life.
d. Worships, and has a spirit of continuous repentance.
e. Builds healthy, reciprocal human relationships.
f. Knows how to engage the larger world where faith is not necessarily understood.
g. Is aware of personal "call" and unique competencies.
h. Is merciful and generous.
i. Appreciates that suffering is part of faithfulness to Jesus.
j. Is eager and ready to express the content of his faith. 
k. Overflows with thankfulness.
l. Has a passion for reconciliation.

2. You are describing decidedly non-christian responses to external factors.

3. Your complaint with with a small group of people and NOT Christianity. Your reasoning is flawed: fallacy of composition.

No, my complaint is with 1. american christianity, which seems to be just a way to justify hatred, bigotry, greed and ego, and 2. people like you who decide who are the "real" christians by cherry picking the bible.
There is no way you could justify that argument. You have simply restated your assertion and thrown in an atheist bullet point in case it applied. Go ahead, try. What is the matter with the list I proposed? What personal instructions for living did I leave out (and therefore cherry-picked)? No way you are even going to try (based on your inch-deep posts/objections to Christianity I have had the pleasure of reading from you thus far), but I thought it worth pointing it out.
