Depends on what you mean by "wrong" and "not really a Christian". The alliance is a Christian movement; if the point of the declaration is to send a message to the religious right and to the nation as a whole that some Christians do not think that people like Jones, DeLay, and Falwell understand and represent the Christian message, it would seem kind of strange to me for nonChristians to claim to be able to speak as part of that voice. Would Jews, Muslims, pagans, or people of other faiths appreciate Christians saying "Hey, we know your faith, and you're not being true to it"? What standing do nonChristians have to speak for or about the Christian tradition or the Christian faith? We can make our own personal judgements about whether Christians are being true to their religious principles, but I think this message is one that Christian liberals need to carry forward, not the rest of us.
I am not a churchgoer or a current student of Christianity, but after much thought I did sign. This is the faith of my family, the faith of my childhood, and a faith I have practiced and studied as an adult.
While I am a non-practicing agnostic, I most closely affiliate with christianity... at least christianity the way I believe it's supposed to be. What they have on this website IS the way I believe it's supposed to be.
