Wow. Synchronicity? Kismet? Coincidence?

One person cannot tell another that they are or are not a Christian... the hubris is sickening.
Yes and no. You can't just say "I like people and Jesus sounds like a cool guy, so I'll consider myself a Christian". There are core tenets and beliefs (one of which is virgin birth) that you must absolutely follow. Religion has been watered down into a sort on pablum mush that is easy for the soft-minded hippie generation to swallow. If you want to learn about true Christian beliefs and teachings then some Byzantine era writing would be a good start.
