3. Perhaps it depends on how "Christian" is defined.

None of the "Christians" I know of do anything resembling the christianity I was taught as a child. You know, love thy neighbor, don't lie, don't hate, don't judge, etc., etc.

I took the time to actually read the bible, cover to cover. The KJV-1611, to coincide with the version the fundies use the most. It was excruciating, but I kept at it.

Actually reading it for myself made me become an atheist. But, since there's no proof either way, I had to review myself and am now identify as agnostic.

As for caring for others, not judging, not hating, etc, non-religious people are now covering that territory, far better than the self-righteous "christians" running around loose today.
