Why hate Athiest?

The Nazi's were as Christian as Bill Clinton.

Ah, the No True Scotsman. Haven't seen that fallacious bit of reasoning in a while.

Thanks for bringing out the old chestnuts for us, Strodel.

The fact that you are calling a logical "fallacy" developed by an atheist to support atheism a fallacy is fallacious.

Of course not all Christians are identical. This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. You do not measure a group by simply including in that group anyone that claims membership. If I said I was a democrat, but voted republican in every single election in the last 30 years, you would not call me a democrat. You would say - "I don't care what that person says about himself, he is a Republican". The idea of "No True Scotsman" presupposes so much about the nature of language that is absolutely contrary to ordinary usage. Language does not describe the world according to the labels that people assign themselves, it describes the features of the world as they exist.

The Bible does not define a Christian as "anyone who professes Christ". If you want to create your own category of what a Christian is, such that anyone who sees it as politically convenient to incorporate Christianity into their actions is a Christian, you may do that, but it is a non-standard definition of what Christianity is.
