Jesus died for your sins because I read it in the Bible.
The Man In The Yellow Hat was good friends with a mischievous little monkey, because I read it in Curious George.

What a bunch of crap. Nice try to recruit. Do you think going to a church will give you better insight into the bible, religion, or will help disprove science?
As an Atheist, and having been to church as a kid and raised with all of the easter and santa crap, I see plenty of examples of church in the way people treat each other, tolerate change and progress, and "accept" people with different views.
No thanks - your "challenge" won't work on the intelligent. Church followers practicing what they preach would prove infinitely more and display intelligence better than your stupid question.

I am a Jew because the faith of Israel demands no abdication of my mind.
I am a Jew because the faith of Israel asks every possible sacrifice of my soul.
I am a Jew because in all places where there are tears and suffering the Jew weeps.
I am a Jew because in every age when the cry of despair is heard the Jew hopes.
I am a Jew because the message of Israel is the most ancient and the most modern.
I am a Jew because Israel's promise is a universal promise.
I am a Jew because for Israel the world is not finished; men will complete it.
I am a Jew because for Israel man is not yet fully created; men are creating him.
I am a Jew because Israel places man and his unity above nations and above Israel itself.
I am a Jew because above man, image of the divine unity, Israel places the unity which is divine.
Edmond Fleg, "Why I Am a Jew"
Judaism worships a God who is the Father of all humanity, whose attributes of kindness, mercy, compassion, and justice are to serve as examples for all our actions.
Judaism teaches that every person is created in God's image and therefore is of supreme value.
Judaism asserts that people are to be co-workers with God in preserving and improving the earth. We are to be stewards of the world's resources and to see that God's bounties are used for the benefit of all. Nothing that has value can be wasted or destroyed unnecessarily.
Judaism stresses that we are to love other people as ourselves, to be kind to strangers, "for we were strangers in the land of Egypt," and show compassion to the homeless, the poor, the orphan, the widow, even for enemies, and for all of God's creatures.
Judaism places great emphasis on reducing hunger. A Jew who helps to feed a hungry person is considered, in effect, to have fed God.
Judaism mandates that we seek and pursue peace. Great is peace, for it is one of God's names, all God's blessings are contained in it, it must be sought in times of war, and it will be the first blessing brought by the Messiah.
Judaism exhorts us to pursue justice, to work for a society where each person has the ability to obtain, through creative labor, the means to lead a dignified life for himself and his family.
Judaism stresses involvement, nonconformity, resistance to oppression and injustice, and a constant struggle against idolatry.
