Christianity has become tinted with some Negativity, such as racist using it as a weapon to oppress or those calling themselves Christians but acting the opposite. this has made me quite skeptical of Christianity is there a way of believing and following the teachings of Christ without having to be called a Christian?

I agree
You can embrace the true religion Islam and know abuot the real teachings of Jesus Chrsit(Peace be upon him)..He was a messenger of god and his message has been greatly tempred for personal intrests
Muslims do believe that Isa (A.S.) was sent down as a Prophet of Allah (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. Muslims do not believe that Isa (A.S.), also known as Jesus by Christians and others, is dead or was ever crucified. We believe that he was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world. Like Jesus (A.S.), Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is also a Prophet and Messenger. Muhammed (P.B.U.H.) is the last Prophet, though, and there is none after him. Hence, Islam is the last religion, complete, with the Holy Qur'an as the unchanged and perfect word of God for over 1400 years, as God promised to preserve it till the last day for all of humankind, unlike sacred texts of other religions which have mulitple versions and are "revised" periodically. God, or Allah in Arabic, is Divine and Supreme Being and Creator.

not all sects of Christianity have faith that Jesus and God are the same or united beings. This substitute into settled on the 1st Council of Nicaea. The Arian Christians (to not be puzzled with Hitler's Aryans) felt that Jesus substitute into not begotten of God the daddy, what the Council decreed. Catholicism is a branch of Christianity. Protestants are maximum folk branch of Christianity in the U. S., outnumbering Catholics. Baptists are seen a sect of Protestantism, as is Lutheranism, Presbyterian, Methodists, Episcopalians, and so on. Is there a majority of Christians working the rustic? Your question is slightly obscure. the super majority of our legislators (interior sight, state, and federal point) become conscious of as Christians, yet that doesn't advise that Christianity runs the rustic for the reason that we've an earthly government. Catholics are a minority at many state stages of government and actually the federal government.

How can you follow the teachings of Christ and not be called a Christian? To be a Christian is to be a follower of Christ. Even my dictionary definition of Christian says "one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ".

All denominations are tainted with bad individuals. Jesus warned His followers of this and to be on Guard. Believe in Christ and study His teachings and in time being called a Christian will not matter to you, unless you are coming from the Muslim or Islam faith where other individuals might make it hard on you if they find out you converted to Christianity.
If you truly want to follow Jesus out of these other religions it is OK not to come out to others right away. Do it in private with God. One day when you are ready to come out God will let you know. Just remember to love your fellow man (Christian) and do not hurt others in the process to prove something as this will terribly anger God and Jesus. By hurting others and being mean you are in reality walking with the Devil or Satan. If God or Jesus can't trust you all your efforts to be on their side will be in vain, so strive to earn Gods trust by being righteous and truth full. As a believer in Christ you do not owe any man on earth that is trying to hurt you an explanation of your new found beliefs.

Do you not want to be called a Christian because you will be persecuted?
Jesus said if you follow me you WILL be persecuted. You will have to pick up your cross daily!
I don't tell people they are going to hell, I tell them what the bible says but I'm not a judge.
Remember, Jesus said if you deny him he will deny you before his father.
Maybe you could call yourself a Jesus follower?

Yes.
The devil "believes" in Jesus, but does not follow him.
Followers of Jesus are called Christians.

I think you most definitely can. The same way a lot of people who believe in God but don't adhere to any religion.

Yes. Satan believes Jesus is who he claims to be.
