A Christian believes Christ, confesses Him publically and attempts to live FOR Him .... and the only instruction book ANY of us have is The Bible. Hopefully you understand that "sola scriptura" is a signature belief of some, but not all Christians. Catholics, for instance, do not believe that the Bible is the only "instruction book", they also have the Catechism of the church. Of course you are entitled to your belief. I find many Protestants are quite ignorant about Catholic teaching, while some even insist that Catholics are not really Christians. At which point they transition from being religiously intolerant to historically ignorant. The Bible so beloved of Protestants was assembled by a series of Councils of Bishops of the Catholic Church circa 300 AD. So even "sola scriptura" you are relying on Catholic decision making (with a little later editing by King James's favorites and others). To say that it is in extremely poor taste to transition from talking about politics to evaluating my spiritual state is an understatement.

Aren’t you something of an atheist, or non-Christian?

Catholics that chastise Sola Scriptura always offer other sources that more often than not, support the scriptures ... interesting
