Christian is one who follows the teaching of Jesus Christ. Gandhi might have formed his opinion based on his encounters with Christians who do not follow the teaching of Jesus.

I've also seen that quote many, many times before. And it doesn't make any difference what Gandhi said. He couldn't have liked Christ that much since He didn't believe in Him as His Savior.

I think Gandhi has a point there. Some Christians are not Christ-like people, they don't care about the unfortunate people. That makes people don't see the light of Christ in them.

James 2
Faith and Works
14 My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don’t do anything to show that you really do have faith? Can that kind of faith save you? 15 If you know someone who doesn’t have any clothes or food, 16 you shouldn’t just say, “I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat.” What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help? 17 Faith that doesn’t lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead!
18 Suppose someone disagrees and says, “It is possible to have faith without doing kind deeds.”
I would answer, “Prove that you have faith without doing kind deeds, and I will prove that I have faith by doing them.” 19 You surely believe there is only one God. That’s fine. Even demons believe this, and it makes them shake with fear.
20 Does some stupid person want proof that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Well, our ancestor Abraham pleased God by putting his son Isaac on the altar to sacrifice him. 22 Now you see how Abraham’s faith and deeds worked together. He proved that his faith was real by what he did. 23 This is what the Scriptures mean by saying, “Abraham had faith in God, and God was pleased with him.” That’s how Abraham became God’s friend.
24 You can now see that we please God by what we do and not only by what we believe. 25 For example, Rahab had been a prostitute. But she pleased God when she welcomed the spies and sent them home by another way.
26 Anyone who doesn’t breathe is dead, and faith that doesn’t do anything is just as dead!

Ghandi actually made the fallacy of equivocation. British Occupier =/= Christian.

It's true for the ones he met or believed to be Christians. Then again, who is he, an unbeliever yet, to judge another man's servant?
