No. Christians are not 'better' than anybody.
And yes, I am a Christian.
There are atheists who practice the principles that Jesus taught better than a lot of Christians. However, all Christians are called to grow toward that goal.
There seems to be a misconception that Christians are supposed to be 'perfect', when in fact we are far from it.
The only thing that separates us from atheists is that we believe in God, that we were separated from Him by sin, and that we can be reconciled to Him by accepting the forgiveness He offers us by accepting the sacrifice of His son on the cross as full payment for the sins that would otherwise keep us eternally separated from Him.
The acceptance of that forgiveness does NOT make us 'perfect' or 'better', in fact it calls us to humble ourselves in service to our fellow man, Christian or not.
We are not 'better', just 'forgiven'.
No one is ever going to be 'good enough' to get into heaven. Even the most devout Christian that does more good than anyone else on earth. Jesus made that clear.
