Do you condemn Christianity because of the people or the book? Because the people dont make the religion, your own faith does. It seems like your experience of people has informed your reading of the book and your faith. If you had difficulties with other people, I won't shed crocodile tears, but I'll wish you the best.

Obviously Christians are horrible hypocrites. Just look at their embrace of Trump. There is no hate like Christian love.

But that's not why I rejected Christianity. It had nothing to do with the book. Or the people. It's down to one simple thing. There is no God. It's a myth. It's bronze age mythology. Everything is just man made. Men invented it. Men wrote it. Men interpret it and argue about it. It's all made up. There. Is. No. God.
