Fair is fair. I'll go first. I like their holidays! Life would be boring without them. Yeah, they're based in Pagan Holidays, but they've done a LOT with them. So credit where credit is due.
Also, a lot of the art from the Renessaince is nice.

Choral music and organ music. Most of the classic composers (Palestrina, Monteverdi, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, etc.) seem to have been believers. An exception is Ralph Vaughn Williams, who wrote a lot of English liturgical music, all the while believing nothing contained in church's the teachings about God.
I also think that many of the congregations are amazingly mutually supportive. Within that group, this is a great support. It's too bad that the price of admission is faith.

The liberal Christians, actively trying to live up to the ideals that their faith proclaims...charity, human rights, civil rights, and support for the First Amendment. I like it when there are genuine efforts to help people in the real world right now insrtead of just prayer.
I like their holidays (fun, fun, fun complete with rip-offs from Pagan cultures), some of the art, and some of the older music. (Gospel and Christian "Rock" don't count.)

A lot of Christians are very nice, caring people. I have many friends who practice their faith and I have no complaints about them whatsoever. I believe that the arrogant, pushy Christians are really in the minority, and it only seems like they're not because they're so loud all the time.

Oh it would have to be those bake sales and Church bizarres! I can't drive by one of those things without getting some Christian bunt cake or a couple of cookies. The stuff they'll sell off cheap at one of their sales is extraordinarily as well, top notch gear at bargain basement prices. Very Christian indeed!

Misinformed is not intelligence at all and you are very misinformed. Not all hollidays belong to christians, and not all those who call themselves christians really are, this is why we must gerd ourselves in knowledge of what is the truth.
The artists of the Renaissance thank you, however I don't believe they knew they were christians back then, or that they were to be called Renaissance. Hah Hah you are too funny.
What I like the most about atheists is that I have seen many of them acting more like christians towards human kind than professing christians.

The food! Every church I've been to usually followed up services with a nice meal.
Also, the cemeteries.

The whole angels/demons dichotomy culture that they've established in movies and stuff.
Makes for some great films and shows.
