I'm spreading the love tonight!
For me, I like that most Christians are very welcoming and open to people who want to convert, and many of them genuinely want the best for everyone. For example, when a Christian says that they're trying to "save your soul," I take it as a compliment, because that means that they really care about your fate, even if I don't believe in all that.
So what do you like best about Christians?
(I swear, if I get any immature insults...)

I don't like Christianity. I like people. I like many nice people who, unfortunately, believe in Christianity. The ones who don't try and force their doctrine on others are the most likable.

I'll be honest with you: What I like about Christians has nothing to do with their religion. So I guess this is simply what I like about any given person from any given faith.
1) Most will help those who need it. Sometimes selflessly.
2) Not all try to make THEIR way, YOUR way.
3) Most are more than willing to share a good laugh or memory with you.
4) They put their pants on one leg at a time, just like I do.
But none of these things are specific to Christians. Now, if you want to know what I like about the Christian religion... I guess the one thing that comes to mind is that it centers around the teachings of the Christ--or Savior, if you will--and involves love. While many "followers" have forgotten this... well, that's why they don't fit into my list!

Most of the Christians that I've been or become friends with, were strong in their believes(like so many are here) but polite towards other ideas in general. They don't have the attitude that they're better(more moral) than others just because they're Christians. They may fight with complete passion for a religious event to pass in school, but will still treat people with respect. For me these Christians are very pleasant to be around.
There are many different types of Christians. The ones I've had the most pleasant experience with(as mentioned above)seem to have always have a similar personality to Jamie from "A Walk to Remember" (just an observation).

I'm a Christian. One reason I like atheists is that in a way, they care more about where they came from and normally ask questions about life and use their brains ( although I believe misguidingly ) Still, they are better off than "self-proclaimed" Christians who only believe because they were raised that way, and really do nothing to follow their own beliefs. Atheists on the other hand do alot to follow their beliefs. Alot of them seem to want to help out humanity as a whole and most of them think logically relative to their viewpoint.

Most will listen to reason and logic, and just compartmentalize it away from their faith. That's a good characteristic. Every time I insult Wicca, or Islam, I get reported to death. When I insult Christianity, I rarely get reported. This leads me to believe that Christians are slightly more tolerant than these other two religious bodies. Believe me, I know their faith seems to illustrate that they would be less tolerant, and I have no idea why Wiccans are so intolerant of people suggesting that "Magick" doesn't exist. But they are, and they report like rabid monkeys.

I like some Christians... perhaps most. Still, I'm not an atheist though. I tend to stay away from the ones who say I worship the devil, the ones who say that Catholics aren't saved Christians and other such who constantly display bigotry.

Hmmm... See I often have Christians in therapy. That is not because they are Christians - they are really just like anybody else behind their christian facade. Now, at some point during the therapy, they drop the facade and become themselves, so to speak. That is actually where they also get one step closer to use their religion in a constructive way for themselves and their surroundings.
Having christians in therapy is often a very rewarding experience for me, and they and their families are happy with it. This is actually where science and religion benefit from each other.
I´m buddhist by the way, and therefore atheist.

Ever heard the saying,"Hate the sin, love the Sinner?" Well similarly I say,"Hate Christianity, Love the Christian."

I know a few Christians that exemplify the teachings of their faith.
Forgiveness, tolerance, love, peace.
I LOVE them.
Peace.

I like how they are able to band together when something needs to be done.
Good question, Bro. I feel the love.
