Is Richard Dawkins a "Christian"?

Truthspresso

In an interview on April 1, Richard Dawkins gave an "Easter message" in an interview.

Expressing his concern about the spread of Islam in the UK, Dawkins called himself a "cultural Christian." He likes to live in a "Christian culture" but he is "not a believer" and doesn't "believe a word of the Christian faith."

While some claim this is a "change" from Dawkins' past, I remain skeptical.

Let's look at some verses in the Bible to see if claiming to be a "cultural Christian" makes one a "Christian" in any meaningful way.
