The same reason I am an atheist.

And I respect that. We dont follow what we believe for any sort of convenience or benefit. We follow it because we have a desire for truth, regardless of whether that leads to Christianity or atheism.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
