I and other atheists spend a great deal of time trying to explain why Christianity (and Islam) are simply the devils way of retarding all human understanding through religion. And Christians spend a great deal of time defending their "right" to believe whatever the hell they want - so help them God!
First, atheists must accept that the Christian is absolutely correct in that they indeed have the right to believe whatever the hell they want. That right is the very heart of liberty, after all.
But this is the problem for Christianity, because Christians simply refuse to accept anything that resembles "truth" that happens to contradict their sacred "beliefs," even to the point that they believe it is the highest virtue of all to die as a martyr rather than admit that there could be a difference between the two.
Hence, the trouble with Christianity is that it seeks only to impose its "beliefs" as the "truth," no matter what anyone else has to say about it. And that's why people are leaving it in droves, except for those who depend on it for emotional comfort as the world sinks into greater strife and misery like the Titanic into the North Atlantic.
But all Christianity has to do to be relevant in the world again, is repent of its medieval backwardness, "die to self," as it's Bible says, and dare to seek to the truth, and nothing else, rather than only ever trying to impose it's superstitions on the world, out of a fear of being thrown into hell by their "loving and merciful" God if they do not.
