You say you're not religious. Let's start there:
1) Jesus Christ was religious; he was Jewish. He believed in the ten commandments and he adhered to Jewish rituals. Christians do the same: they believe in and adhere to the ten commandments and they follow religious rituals. If you do none of the above, then you are not a follower of Christ.
2) Followers of Christ believe in a higher power: God. God, to the Christian, is a three-part God: the Father, the Son, And the Holy Ghost. If you do not believe in God, then you are not a follower of Christ.
3) Most followers of Christ believe in an afterlife. They believe that when you die, if you have lived a good life and have taken Jesus as your saviour, then you will go to heaven where you will be one with Christ. If you do not believe in an afterlife and rather believe that when it's over you just cease to exist, then you are not a follower of Christ.
The hardest part for you may be that, although you were given a name the means "follower of Christ," you don't believe in anything that the followers of Christ believe. So be it.
One last thing, though: don't worry that you don't match the meaning of your name. Just act according to this rule, and things should work out for you: Don't do anything to anyone else that you wouldn't want done to you.
