what is christian ?..... to me, just like a Jew ,Conservative , a liberal ,Muslim or Jehovah witness it is only a label ,a word which can be used for different purposes depending on your needs and the nature of your self image .

What is blue, but a label?
Semantic nihilism won't get you very far.
The piece in the OP seems intent on defining Christianity in such a way as to exclude Mormons, presumably because of some negative predisposition. I take a rational stance that a real definition of Christianity that does not encompass Judaism and Islam is possible and clearly encompasses Mormonism.
Moreover, by the definition I proposed. I am not a Christian. But by the definition of what it means to be Catholic according to the Catholic church, I am a Catholic.
But I am an atheist. A non-Christian, Catholic, atheist.
