I think you should avoid giving yourself a label at all in that case ("Keep your identity small"). Tacking "Christian" in front of "realist" makes your position less clear, not more clear. I can see doing that if you're trying to exploit in-group bias or something, but I think it's much healthier to be honest to yourself about what you're doing.
