My three main points:
1. Total lack of any evidence that any gods exist or anything in the bible (or any other holy book for that matter) is true, and insistence by religious people that people should just have faith in their religion and stop thinking critically about it. Add to this a total lack of knowledge about what's really in their holy texts except for a few cherry-picked passages.
2. A preponderance of evidence which shows that claims made by religions are false and in particular shows the stories in the bible are untrue, not to mention evidence which shows that all gods were invented by man and not the other way around. Not to mention the many different gods which were invented which shows how different civilizations had different ideas about gods instead of all ideas about gods being divinely inspired.
3. The quest for total control over people's behavior by most religions. They seem to not only want to control the behavior of followers, but also seem to want to force non-followers to conform to their beliefs, either by recruitment or political power with which to pass laws to restrict people's behavior. Add to this the anti-science and anti-knowledge attitude that most religions seem to have which holds progress back.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
