Why is it that most people hate Christianity? Is it the antichrist or satans power controlling people? Why can't people just belive in Jesus. Why do you hateful people like to bash us innocent, humble christians? Why can't you just accept Christ and stop hating the rightouss? America seems more of an evil nation rather than of a Christian Nation.

Oh stop whining,75 percent of the U.S. population is Christian, in my view it is the least hated religion in the U.S. I still know there are a lot of people who hate it but more people love it. Unlike my religion(Atheistic Modern Satanism)is probaly one of the most hated and misunderstood religions. Heck, I will probaly get a lot thumbs down for mentioning that I'm a modern Satanist.I might even get reported for no good reason.

Jesus himself warned Christians that they would be hated. He said if you are hated remember that the world hated me (Jesus) first. Christians are supposed to consider it joy when they are persecuted because they are storing up treasures with the Father in heaven.
Also, many Christian (fundamentalists) preach primarily a gospel of negativity and even spend most of their time criticizing other Christians. The Bible certainly does not advocate cutting down other members of like faith. The Holy Spirit desires for Christians to live in unity. So, if you hear a Christian belittling another Christian denomination or doctrine, be aware that they are not operating in the spirit of Christ. Not all Christians are true to the spirit of Christ, unfortunately. And sadly, they give us true humble Christians a bad rap.

Why can't we just accept christ and stop hating the rightous? Maybe it's that rightous attitude of yours that makes people hate you, ever thought of that?
Many people don't believe your god exists, or that there is a devil, or that jesus was divine. That doesn't mean that they hate you. But if you keep talking like this to them, I can see why they don't want to hang out with you.
And America is NOT a Christian nation. Read the Treaty of Tripoli some time.

you just answered your question....
would you like for somebody to tell you that Buddhism or Satanism or any other religion for that matter is right, and that you are wrong? And that when you die, your soul or whatever will suffer because you are a Christian?
NO! You prefer to believe what you believe, just as other people prefer to believe what they believe. Coming out and blatantly saying that what you say and what you learn is the only right, and that every other religion is wrong only incites hate.
You say now that all other religions are hateful, but what are you, when you are trying to deny them their fundamental right to believe in their own creed.
People don't hate Christianity---they hate Christians....but more specifically, the Christians who so arrogantly claim that they are right and everyone else is wrong. I am Catholic, dont get me wrong, but I have never believed in pushing my faith on anyone else, just as I would despise anyone pushing their faith on me....and I've had that before. Discussing faith is ok, but preaching which is right and wrong is hateful.
Its not the question of why does everyone hate Christianity or solely even why Christians hate everyone else....its just of the the universal intolerance everyone seems to have for anyone different from them. Why are you so afraid of anyone else believing something different from you?

The very worst conflict that the finished human race ever experienced ended sixty seven years in the past. Chrisitanity would have had its initiate in Jerusalem on Pentecost Day in 33 A.D., even even though it exchange into in Europe that it flourished the strongest and underwent maximum of its progression. interior the earlier that terrible conflict, human beings observed Adolf Hitler and Mussolini--the two raised as Catholics--upward thrust as much as exchange into destructive dictators. And Joseph Stalin--himself as quickly as a beginner Orthodox monk--persisted the oppression below Communism. And this does not have got here approximately if the precise same Christian people who supported them hadn't placed them into ability. 2 issues got here approximately interior the aftermath of the 2d international conflict: a million) many human beings observed Pope Pius XII as being apparently unconcerned relating to the way forward for the Jews he knew have been being persecuted in Germany 2) Many Germans who had supported Hitler and later regretted it, have been keenly conscious that the Evangelical Protestant Church were Hitler's greatest supporter. It exchange into after 1945 that the human beings in Europe observed Chritianity as being beside the point simply by fact such horrors does not have surpassed off if the religion and morals of the church homes were genuine and actual. And international conflict II exchange into merely the icing on the cake, as quite a few wars relating to the Christian faith had erupted on the continent over the centuries

Because a lot of people don't believe your religion and don't WANT to be forced to accept it. But you folks keep pushing it!
And America was never intended to be a christian nation. The founding fathers had ever opportunity to declare christianity the country's religion. They specifically chose NOT to do it.

People hate christians beacuse we are Christ like. Christ said that we will not be treated better then he was....what happend to him?
Make no mastake, people will hate you for your beliefs.
But we are called to love anyways.
We are called to bring the love of Christ to everyone, that dosent mean that they will accept it. saying why cant you just accept christ and stop hating us isnt really the right way to do it.
Not everyone claiming christian is. thats why alot of us get a bad name. form self-proclaimed christians that dont really live what they calim.
also from people that are extreemists, yeah where called to minister to all but that dont mean burn a abortion place with people in it down or anything like that, no matter how wrong abortion is, thats not the right way to do it.

Christianity is really not hated.
Wiccans often lose their jobs, their family, their safety, and even their life because of their religion. Where does this hatred come from, I wonder?
America is 75% Christian. Most of this hatred for Christians actually comes from other Christians. For instance, I saw someone on this site calling Catholicism a satanic cult.

Why is it that I have to answer this question at least once a day because people can't seem to think things through? You have a brain, use it.
Christianity is hated because it hates everyone else and tries to control everyone else.
lets see, peddling your religion on my doorstep, trying to force prayer in schools (mind you, only Christian prayer is acceptable. Anyone else has to be quiet when they pray or don't pray at all), trying to remove the teaching of evolution and putting Intelligent Design into class instead, banning gay marriage, banning abortion, banning stem cell research...
you name it, Christians are trying to interfere with the way everyone else lives their lives.
THAT is why people hate Christianity.
Christianity is fine if the Christians could just KEEP IT TO THEMSELVES AND BUTT OUT OF EVERYONE ELSES LIVES.

Could be because the history of the world is rife with horrific acts comitted by Christians in the name of their God.
That and the holier than thou attitude many of them have.
And if America is 80% Christian and America is an evil nation what does that really tell you?
