"Christians" is term originally said about those who follow Christ . The Apostles and first century believers didn't use the term, " Christian" , to describe themselves, others did. Rather describing themselves as believers and following "The Way", referring to the way of redemption and eternal life. Some later forms of believers eventually called themselves Christian. I prefer to say I'm a believer in the one true God who died for me and you. By defeating death Jesus showed us "The Way" , believe in Jesus and recieve eternallife life.

Many here believe the same. As did the founding fathers of our country . Bless you, thanks for your question.
