I is wrong because you are subjectively defining what a Christian is based on your own personal experience. What if I were to tell you that because you use the 'no true scotsman' fallacy, you are not really an atheist? That fits my personal definition, but does that actually mean you're not an atheist? Of course not, because my opinion of what a true atheist is has no bearing on the actual definition.
One could easily make the argument that a true Christian would not die for his beliefs so he/she could have more time on Earth to spread the gospel and save more souls.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
