Nobody said that you were Christian until you started denying that you’d ever said that you were. What was brought up were “Christian values.” Whether you are Christian or not is irrelevant, but the values that you have espoused are most often associated with fundamentalist or puritanical Christian faiths. Therefore, your statements can be said to be promoting “Christian values” with or without your actually being a Christian. It’s like if I started blaming minorities for the state of the nation, and recommending their extermination. What I’d be saying would essentially be Nazi philosophy, and it would be irrelevant if I were an actual member of the party or not.
