I wouldn’t be a Christian

I have to interact with them frequently and my distaste for christians/christianity is well earned. 

Well, on web sites like this one, I have often had distasteful interactions with atheists, too. 
I've had atheists lie to me, and lie about me, and try to dox me, and slander my published work (without having read it of course). One guy posted a dozen vile messages because I pointed out to him that "transient" and "transcendent" mean different things. One moderator at another forum -- now defunct -- sent me a series of PMs one night with an increasingly bizarre series of insults. I could make a very long list. 
This is not vulgar people who happen to atheist, but people whose dislike of religion causes them to type irrational and stupid things. 

But the increasing number of such people doesn't cause me to lose respect for the good work done by other atheists.
