Even though the main characters are Muslim, they show Christian qualities. Baba and Amir are overall friendly to their servants Ali and Hassan. This is very ironic, because usually servants are treated badly and are not respected. Baba buys presents for Hassan, and Amir reads and plays with him. Baba treats Ali as a Pashtun even though he is a Hazara by inviting him into his home with his other friends.
Despite Amir being Muslim he is very cutoes and caring. Even when Baba gets mad at the grocery store owners Amir is very calm and asks them to no call the cops and will pay for the damage.
I agree with Nick in that Amir does not want harm and is very sensitive. On the other hand, when things put himself and others in danger he is willing to defend himself.
One very christian -like character in the book could be Babba- though Babba seems to have no religion, he still displays some aspects of being a christian. when he explains to Amir that there is only one sin- theft- he pretty much lists off three or four of the ten commandments. though Babba may not realise it he does share some of the fundamental beliefs of being christian.
