That argument is a sieve. As for "furthering their anti-religion agenda," I'm not anti-religious, yet I use a person's self-identification in matters of religion, politics, etc. In those issues, it really doesn't matter how you behave, it is what you relate to that matters. You have no way of knowing if the "holy spirit" was in that man or that god willed whatever he did, so how can you possibly strip him of his own label? We've had this conversation before. You don't have Christ-dar, so who are you to say someone who identifies as a Christian is not Christian?
Did you read what I wrote? I said there are Christians who have wronged other people. I just do not believe there is any evidence this man was a Christian. Claiming to be a police officer does not make you one either, just to play along with your analogy.
Scripture says there are certain finger prints of the Holy Spirit's saving work, and those are the fruit of the spirit. This man doesn't seem to display any of those things, so it's a safe bet that he does not possess saving grace at this time. We will never agree on this matter though because we have completely different ideas of what it means to actually be a Christian.
God's declared will is for men to love their enemies, not commit murder and to forgive others, so it's obvious this man was violating God's legal will.
