trust me...there is probably more fighting among christians than there is between athiests and christians. Just look at some of these threads. Until I joined here I wouldn't hav e thought so much. Yes, there are HUGE differences in baptist, and fundies, and catholics, and congregational churches, etc...this we have always known. But until you read it first hand, and read the hatred, and the judging that goes on..it's no wonder so many get turned off by Christianity. Think about it yourself. If you weren't a Christian, and you spoke to a Fundamentalist...would that entice you to convert to Christianity? Same for the fundamentalist thinker...if you spoke to someone like me from the UCC..would that entice you to convert to Christianity? The answers to both of these probably tells you why we are in the position that we are in. Christianity, across ALL denomoninations has dropped over the past several years. Not shocking to me at all....just look what goes on here and you'll see why
