Religion is religion, and Christianity is Christianity. Regardless of their internal divisions they all believe in general same nonsense.
Its true that wars have been used in the name of Christianity not only for religious purposes but to spread the Theocracy's empire. My point being that without whichever the religion the empire has, the leaders wouldn't have had as much power over the people as they did. As I have said earlier, in a Theocracy or if a state has an official religion, if you break the laws, you are not just going against the state, but you are going against the gods.
Currently I believe we initially has so much support for the war on "terror" because of religious reasons. It was made clear over and over again in the first year after 9/11 that the terroist were muslims and we were the "Christians".
This country was founded by secularists, but colonized by religious prudes. If you value so much our colonizers, perhaps you should start a war to return the ex-British colonies to Britain.
I think its disgusting that Christians break apart families, destroy cultures, and kill people in the name of conversions.
I am an Atheist and I don't have to read every religious book to say so. I simply do not believe in god. Its not logical. No matter how many times I read books about Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, I simply will not believe in their existence.
