It's about an entirely different subject, that is, how to live your life to the full. You've been derailed by illogical literalist hogwash about religious truths actually being about discernibly provable reality. It isn't, and until you face that fact, which seems very odd that as a non believer you cling to the literalist line, then you will continue going around in circles.
Well, if Christianity is simply about living life to the full, then it hardly matters whether we even call it Christianity.
Christianity is the religion of Christ - that is, it is made up of people who believe Jesus Christ was god, that he died and rose, that he is one with the father and the holy spirit, and that the only way to heaven is follow him.
It's a little more than "how to live your life to the full". When we ask for a claim to be backed up, we're not asking for your claim that it's about how to live your life to the full to be backed up. I agree that life should be lived to the full, I just disagree with you as to the means of achieving the "fullness".
Regardless of what Christianity is about, the question remains, why Christianity? Why not another religion?
