I don't see why not. A person doesn't have to maintain that magic book is something it's not to be a christian.
Historically, a great many christians never had access to a bible and couldn't have read it if they did. Paul, to hear the story told, had never read the NT. He had a vision and in that moment became a christian.
Ultimately christianity is not (and has never been) the belief that the bible is true...and I, for one, see no reason to saddle ones earnestly held beliefs with a duplicitous and meandering rationalization over a book of fairy tales.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
