I don't agree that it is semantically equivalent.
It is obviously meant to belittle and make light of what many Christians really believe, and therefore has a meaning which the longer definition does not. Semantics includes the obviously intended insult.
The term "President Obama" isn't semantically equivalent to the term "President Fuckface Obama," even though both terms refer to the same person.
As for what Christians believe, yes of course many people believe dumb things. To announce that all Christians believe the same thing, and that this one thing is the essence of Christianity, is incorrect. It is a useful oversimplification made by people who want to insult.
