The reason that atheists can;t be christians, is that atheists, by definition, don't believe in a "christ" - even if they might believe in a "jesus". It's a title, not a last name.
Yes, Christ is the Greek form of "Messiah". But depending on what one accepts and rejects from the Scripture, it could be argued that even an atheist could believe in a Messiah.
