I guess some (NOT ALL) Christians use guilt because they know no better.
Christians are also humans and humans are imperfect like you and me.
But maybe you should just stop and seriously think and decide for yourself if Christians or just about any human who don't know any better use guilt. With that perspective, you might see a different world. Not just a world of Christians and non-Christians.

Because guilt is an effective tool to control the masses.
Now the power of love is a different matter all together. There is a love out there that loves all of humanity in all our chaos and screwed up nature. But this love has to do with freedom and healing, not with guilt.
If you have hurt people in life, as most of us have, it is not objectionable to apologize to those you have hurt or to release resentments against others.

Not just Christians. Islam plays exactly the same games with their guilt trips.

Because it is one of the tools which works best when trying to get people to do what you want them to.

Since you don't give specifics, that question is somewhat difficult to answer with any sense.
Please clarify yourself as "for what?"
