As Mark Twain once put it, "Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness, It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast."
And we will probably get some of them saying that this country was founded on the Christian religion... let me crush that tiny argument right here.
"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." John Adams, Treaty of Tripoly, article 11

I am not christian but christian people don't all just go along with everything that was written in the bible. A lot of good comes from christianity also, they encourage giving, understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, they support a lot of charities and they believe that they are making the world a better place. Some of them are crazy but there are crazies in any religion (and crazies who have no religion). I think it is mean to have a go at people about their religion because they cannot help what they are born into and raised to believe, or even came to believe on their own! What is putting christianity down going to accomplish?

Even if I did believe in God, which I don't, these would be just a few of the reasons I wouldn't be a Christian.

It is God who directs the lives of his creatures; everyone's life is in his power. Job 12:10
I, the Lord, am a God who is full of compassion and pity, who is not easily angered and who shows great love and faithfulness. Exodus 34:6
God is not like people, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks, and it is done. Numbers 23:19
This God? How perfect are his deeds, how dependable his words! He is like a shield for all who seek his protection. 2Samuel 22:31
The Lord your God is kind and merciful, and if you return to him, he will accept you. 2Chronicles 30:9
God is there and Jesus is alive and He can forgive sins. He forgave my sins.
