No, people are turned off by outdated superstitions. The world has grown up and no longer needs invisible beings to behave.

i am not sure that i understand the second half of your question but i am not christian because there is no evidence to support the validitiy of any of its claims and it is harmful to my life. I prefer a life free of guilt, fear, surbodination, and the inability to use my thinking facilities. Lots of christians make the mistake of thinking that christianity is either a true belief or at worst a harmless untrue belief. Not. It is very disempowering, promotes a life of fantasy and dissociation from reality, lack of personal responsibility for one's actions and excuses for carrying out discrimination and hateful acts against people who are different from them

Not me.
The list of rules that Christianity imposes on its followers are impossible to follow. They even put prohibitions on what you can think about. You can't fault the followers for not living up to rules that are impossible to follow if you're human. Though, you can fault the religion for trying to impose such rules. Those rules are only really meant to instill guilt in followers so they fill the pews and empty their pockets.
I'm turned off to Christianity because of the overwhelming evidence that its god is imaginary. You can look to the Bible and its history to see that it is a superstition put together by men. Human nature tends to produce superstitions, myths, and urban legends that people strongly believe true. Religion is just another example of this.

No. I am turned off by people who are self righteous and make sure everyone knows how "pure" their lives are. By the way, I am not a christian because I dislike christians. I like a lot of christians. I am an atheist because I do not believe in god.

That's a common excuse. It's also kind of lame. Just because Christians are imperfect doesn't mean Christ is.
That's like saying nobody should ever drive cars because so many people crash them. Or like saying you shouldn't eat at all because so many eat too much.
I mean if you're going to come up with a reason not to believe at least come up with a decent one.

I am turned off by christianity because I do not personally agree with many of the aspects of it. I am not sure what you are asking, because your sentence does not make much sense.

It does not matter to me how so called Christians behave, the text and theology are incoherent drivel.
