Am I a Christian a writer if I used to...?

Question

Am I a Christian a writer if I used to have dragons as one of the protagonists in my stories? Though, I've read a passage in the Bible (esp. in Revelation 'cause I want to knew more about it from the Bible) that it says that dragons were the serpents which I believe that it was what a serpent looks like when God didn't let them crawl before and are Satan's companions. 
So, I was also influenced by C. Paolini's Eragon. And I have a story in my mind about dragons too (like hatching of these creatures) that the genre is fantasy (no religions or gods worshipping in the story) for children's fiction and I want it to finished in just a month.
Do you have any help regarding on these things? Please help I really want story for children especially I want to dedicate it to my little cousins.

No clearly you'll be damned for eternity if you refer to imaginary creatures... oh, wait...  talking snakes?  Demons?  Gods?  Angels?

It looks like you're OK to make up anything you want!

So, the first part isn't really relevant to what you want to write.
On the second part; I would say don't try and write with Eragon in mind.  If you were inspired by one idea from the story, take only that idea and discard any other thought of Eragon, even any visualisation you may have had while reading the book.
  Invent a completely new look and beginning with the bare bone idea you saw, plan out what you want to happen and who is in it. 
  Write.

Being Christian or not has no relation whatsoever to what imaginary creatures you use in your writing. Isn't that obvious? Look for example at CS Lewis' Narnia series full of magical creatures and occurrences - no one denied Lewis was a Christian.

Yes, because works of fiction that do not conform to society or religion are so offensive... *rolls eyes*
