I am a Buddhist... does that mean that I am not the neighbor of a Christian?
If I was robbed and beaten and bleeding by the side of the road... would you walk by? Are you not to love me? Is that what Jesus really meant when he selected a Samaritan as an example rather than a polytheist or atheist?
But if only Christians are to be considered neighbors then something I thought rather good about Christianity has suddenly turned into something bad.

Luke 10:27 Greek Text Analysis

I think Jesus encompassed all people as His neighbours.

A neighbour is anybody within reach of your action. So this love is active, not a warm feeling in your heart. It’s going out and helping.
