But what Christians really are amounts to:

1. Christians are devoted to very many different things some of which, to their consternation, too frequently surpass their devotion to Jesus.
2. 
3. 
4.
5.

12.

And just like any other follower of any other religion, nobody wants to test their claims with an expanded control group by taking their club/deity out and pluck in another claim into their own arguments to compare to see if their own arguments still work with another club/deity plugged into it.

1. Buddhists are devoted to very many different things some of which, to their consternation, too frequently surpass their devotion to Buddha.

1. Muslims are devoted to very many different things some of which, to their consternation, too frequently surpass their devotion to Allah/Mo.


1. Jews are devoted to very many different things some of which, to their consternation, too frequently surpass their devotion to Yahweh.

1. Hindus are devoted to very many different things some of which, to their consternation, too frequently surpass their devotion to Brahama.


Every religion has competing sub sects and competing individuals who will not only point to those outside their umbrella label and say "You got the wrong religion", but even under the same label, the competing sub sects will say "you got the wrong sect/interpretation".

Bottom line it all still amounts to "I got it right and everyone else got it wrong".

There has never been, and is not now, ever been such a thing as a perfectly unifying religion of any label. Christians think they got it right, Muslims think they got it right, Buddhists think they got it right, Jews think they got it right, Hindus think they got it right. But so what, even under the same labels the sub sects of each still don't agree.

You might want to re-check there snappy.   This argument was from an atheist.   ROFLOL
