I don't think it matters if he was a Christian or not.
I don't necesserily think he was, based on his private conversations, his possible interest in Nietzche and Darwin. Plus another aspect I've mentioned before talking about this subject, his drug intake at certain points in his life. He probably had times where he believed he was god, was doing gods work, there was no god and everything is futile, all in the same day.
His main goal, which I don't really question much, seems to be the importance of the power of the state above all else.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
