I think I can show that Christianity itself may not be the problem, rather that the people who follow it can and will be flawed.
For me it's the exact opposite. Until I joined Volconvo, I hardly ever debated theism with believers. I have no quarrel with those who want to believe and aren't trying to engineer my life according to their beliefs. My sole objection is to the institution of the church and theistic belief itself. I obviously have no dislike for the gods, since I consider them imaginary beings. Further, I have no animus toward believers. It's what theistic thought and philosophy have done to humans throughout history until this day that I argue against.
