Define "judge a christian". That is a pretty ambiguous term. You kind of need to explain exactly what you mean. Do you mean that an atheist judge cannot sit in a trial over a christian? Do you mean a hindu jury member cannot decide what happens to a christian? Do you mean that a jewish person cannot look down on the actions of a christian person (such as abortion bombings)?
It sounds like you are trying create a christian superiority society where the actions of christians cannot be questioned by anyone other than christians.

That depends on what you mean by "judge". We all judge things all the time, believer or non. When you pull your car into a parking space you must judge the distance between you and the other cars. When you start to have a conversation with someone you must judge many things about them first: are they deaf? do they speak English? are they intelligent enough to understand the subject you are discussing? are they knowledgeable? and many others. Now if you are talking about "Judge" in the sense of "Is this person going to be saved or are they worthy of salvation? Then christians themselves also have no right to judge as they are admonished against that in their own holy book. So, exactly what is it you are talking about?

Oh sir,are you the King of earth.?I must have missed the memo. I judge who I want,how I want,when I want. It is the Christian book that says "judge not,lest ye be judged". Everybody judges everybody,whether they admit it or not,How do you "not judge "someone?"Hey!There's Charles Manson!Now,let's not judge..."Yeah,right. Did you know you have utterly no right or jurisdiction to judge Whether atheists can judge or not?

Doesn't that go both ways! What right do you have to judge non-believers? From your questions, it sounds like you have a lot of judging going on.
In the human mind, it is very difficult not to judge. It is something we do automatically. We have to apply specific meditation techniques to stop the judging. So your battle is lost from the beginning since so few of the people you know and Christians meditate.

Judging is merely an opinion about someone or their beliefs - everyone is entitled to their opinion
Your holy book states judge lest not ye be judged.... and you know what they say about people in glass houses

I would like to thank all the "non-believers" who answered, and proved that it is NOT religion that causes world problems, but man's own intolerance and unwillingness to allow others their thoughts and beliefs.
While many, (I will not lump all), like to suggest that anyone with religious beliefs and convictions are ignorant, there is no reason to do so.
In so doing, you force religion to become an issue. And, then when answers are given, many turn around and claim to be the victim.
EVERYONE has a right to their own opinion and to THINK for themselves. Choosing religion IS A CHOICE, it is not something that ALL religious people blindly are told to do. GET over yourselves and try to get on with your own lives...
PS... nice touch though, showing you can know something from Sacred Scripture.
Shalom.

Cause NO ONE has that right!
Edit: I should clarify that I mean that no one has the right to Judge anyone. I just realized I worded this funny.

I don't have any right to judge a Christian but I do have a right to question the validity of their beliefs.

Oy... what jurisdiction do you think you have to question me about questioning judging Christians...
Anyone understand that? I didn't but aw well it works!

Similarly, Christians ought not to judge.
Judge not, lest ye be judged, for whatever measure ye mete, it will be measured to you again.
I marvel at the continued judgement of Christians everyday who say you aren't going to heaven because...... when even in their own faith CHRIST is the judge, who having mercy will grant mercy to whom He will.
