Thanks, Foxaire! If I understand you correctly, your biggest problem with Christians is not that they believe in God, but that they try to push their belief on others. Do I understand you correctly?

The problem with christians, is christianity. Sure, some of them may also be unable to distinguish right from wrong, or to understand humanity's problems, and perhaps believe that there's a single solution for all or any of them...but..mostly..it's just christianity.
That's the only problem specific to christians.

^This. The overwhelming majority of Christians I’ve known have been perfectly nice people. By and large, of course, most of them are of the cherry-picking, cafeteria-style of Christian, but I’m ok with that. In fact, the further nominal Christians are from Christianity, the nicer they seem to be.

Boru Ironically, this is a perception of Christians and Christian religiosity overwhelmingly shared by Christians apprehending their fellow Christians.

What is the biggest problem facing humanity today?
Climate change.
What is the solution to humanity's problems?
Thoughtful allocation of resources rather than a profit-driven "every man for himself" mentality.
How can right and wrong be determined?
It's mostly common sense. Does an action make an individual's life better or worse?
What is your attitude about Christians?
If they stuck with Matthew 25:35-40, no problem. If they try to frighten people into belief with tales of hellfire and judgement, it's an insurmountable problem and I give no quarter.
What is most important to you?
Why do you want to know something so personal? Decline to answer.
