Basically because of the political angle. Too many of your coreligionists want creationism taught in place of science in the public schools, along with sectarian prayer and Bible study. Too many of you want pride of place among the denominations of Christianity and other religions in the public sphere in other ways as well.
Let me draw you a parallel: Seventh-Day Adventists don't eat meat. They think the Bible tells them not to. And you know what? Nobody else cares. Certainly there are not many forums like this where Seventh-Day Adventists argue with atheists about vegetarianism.
But what do you suppose would happen if they started agitating to have meat dishes removed from public school cafeterias, and Seventh-Day Adventist inspired prayed and Bible study installed in the curriculum? Don't you think they would start to feel some serious heat about it?
A small correction,since I was ordained in the SDA church many years ago, but left that church many years ago as well, they do not believe vegetarianism is prescribed in the Bible, the idea came from their prophet. Nor do they demand it as a test of faith, half of them eat meat. Nobody cares, and neither do I.
I still do not know what your purposes is, unless, as you say, from the political angle, you want to subvert Christian belief.
If I were a big supporter of prayer in public schools, what you might have to say about it is irrelevant, and will not make one whit of difference to me, unless we are discussing the Constitution, an area where I am professionally qualified to comment
I spent years in the so called "religious forums" a very raucous place indeed. It is quite confrontational, and the new atheists there aren't concerned about politics, they continually crash Christian discussions to jeer, belittle and demean, that is their modus operandi.
In an online forum format I do not trust any new atheist to have any other motive.
Sorry, but that is my experience with very many of you over the years.
I came to the CHRISTIAN FORUM to escape that, but you are here too.
So, since theology ( the study of God) holds no interest for you, and I see very few political discussions, if any, about imposing by law Christianity on others, I will continue to be wary of your motives, and wonder why you are here.
Make no mistake, I am happy to engage you on any issue, but I will strongly react to YOU statements. They almost always in this format are a form of personal attack and uncalled for.
Big bang is in the Bible did you know that ?
