What do yall think about this?
Can anyone who believes in one god believe that he sent his son to us or is that impossible?

no, but you can follow some of the moral teachings of jesus and not be a christian.

even richard dawkins wrote an article entitled "atheist for jesus"

Sure. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of the prophets. And Muslims aren't Christians.

Some people believe he was just a guy with some really good ideas. No god necessary, and no reason to wear his name like it's some kind of exclusive (and often arrogant) club.

Of course one can subscribe to the teachings of Christ and yet in one's actions and the hypocrisy of ones actions or poor judgment fail to reflect the meaning of the teachings. Being too proud of one's beliefs can actually lead to uncharitable action towards others and especially non-Christians.

I see nothing incredulous about this.

Actions always speak louder than words.

There are Jews who believe Jesus was the messiah but still consider themselves Jews, so I'd say yes.

Most assuredly DJ. In fact, there is the organization Jews for Jesus.

I first saw ads for them on buses in SF years ago, and it always makes me giggle.
