That model has been tried and typically works poorly over the long haul.  Yes, the Amish are able to function outside modernity, and the so did the Shakers -- for a while, at least.  Communities like Amana didn't so much disappear as they slowly rejoined the majority.  So that idea can work -- has worked -- but it's rare.

I mean more not befriending them as much or marrying them. Also separate places to socialize and separate clubs. There won't be any more Christians in my generation if we don't do this.

First of all as a Christian you can give testimony in your personal life that makes you a desirable model of life -- including your faith -- to others. America has plenty of fake Christians, the biggest of which is Donald Judas Iscariot Trump, who would have likely separated the infant Jesus from his mother Mary and stepfather Joseph. Maybe part of your life is what you don't do, like frequenting strip clubs, whorehouses, and porno palaces. Maybe because you have poor facial recognition you might find cheating difficult at best. Aw, too bad! (OK, I have no knack for hot-wiring cars, so I will never be an effective car thief).  

As an Aspie, I recognize that there is much that I could not get away with... but if some woman had gotten me to marry her I would be extremely loyal to her. I'm not a good liar, and because my facial expressions do not match my words I must make my actions prove my words. (The perfect compromise might be that she has children, but not by me, as a child by me might end up institutionalized for extreme autism). 

You can choose to live without hypocrisy. That is inconvenient, but also precious.
