I view some of the ideals in Christianity wrong, but that doesn't mean he's automatically a Christian due to a hate crime. There's other religions with similar ideals.

It's South Florida, that's how I know. Also, there's this:

"The 25-year-old victim said the child chased her down the street shortly after midnight in the area of Church Street and Rio Grande Avenue, which is near the Citrus Bowl, while firing shots and yelling threats and homophobic slurs at her, investigators said. Seven shots were fired. The boy lives with his grandmother, Josephine Felder"

Florida religious breakdown:

Christian:
Protestant, 40%
Roman Catholic, 26%
Baptist, 9%
Methodist, 6%
Pentecostal, 3%
---------
Non-christian:
Jewish, 3%
other religions, 3%
non-religious, 16%

Oh no! This incident happened in the vicinity of Church street! Yep, that settles it. The kid was definitely a Christian. Roll Eyes

That's a stretch even for your hate-filled self.

-84% christian state
-Boy lives with grandmother
-Elderly people are far more religious than younger americans
-Shouting homophobic slurs

Yeah, the evidence for Christian hate-crime sure is weak here. Roll Eyes

You really don't make yourself look good here, you know? Judging a person by what you assume is their religion...

I mean it's stupid the kid shot at the person, but you're ready to hate on him because of his religion (that you assume he is) when you don't know he isn't atheist. You would hate it if someone discriminated against a transgender or homosexual because they assumed something about them based on that or stats alone. Now, tell me, how are you not a hypocrite?
