Can you be considered a righteous gentile if you don't keep all the laws of Noah?

The simple answer is NO... What problem do you have with the 7 laws of Noah?

Isn't worshiping Jesus idolatry? Chaim calls some evangelical Christians righteous gentiles. I used to be a Christian, but I've come to realize from Jewish literature and videos on the matter that it is just pagan nonsense.

That is very good... Yes indeed there is an issue when it comes to venerating, worshiping, or idolizing a physical being {be it a star, the sun or moon, or man himself}.
I do not differ in opinion with Chaim as I respect his authority here. This issue has been debated and although there is no clear halachic conclusion to the question most Jewish JTFers agree that Hashem is the ultimate judge of whether a person is righteous or not. JTF should not close itself to the help from non-Jews if they sincerely want to help Israel. Any alterior motives are not really our concern because we believe that Hashem causes everything to happen in this world (and in all possible worlds), and he has promised that in the end the Jewish people will return to Israel and Moshiach will come and redemption will be accomplished. This redemption will come with, or without, the help of the nations... But those who assist in the redemption of the Jewish people will be judged more mercifully than those who stand against Israel.
This is my opinion on this topic. You should ask this question to Chaim if you like...

From what I see he is an Egyptian poet and holocaust denier. The latter, not surprised there are many people like him.
