Didn't Nero launch Christianity?

You're interpreting that in the light of your own superstitions, not in the context of Marcions rejected heretical superstitions.

No, I provided quotes from Marcion's Gospel, and not my interpretation, refuting your claims that lacked zero evidence.

This is part of what makes marcion such an interesting character in the development of christian belief. His beliefs, were rejected, but what he thought made for good theological literature wasn't. While his beliefs would not be a significant factor in the current incarnation of christian belief, his selection of texts to prominence actually informs your own. He likely selected paul due to pauls rejection of traditional jewish authority and how neatly it aligned with his (and perhaps pauls) docetism.

That work does go on to form a meaningful basis of christianity as you know it.

Marcion main cause of rejection, was the OT God, which he like Richard Dawkins saw as jealous and wrathful, and murderous, unlike Christ, who both he and Dawkins see as “super-nice”. OT God was evil, but was the creator of the defective material world, that only a malicious being would have created a world like our. something he would also find sympathy with among atheists. But he accepted pretty much everything else about Jesus life and ministry, that didn’t negate this.

He not only selected Paul, he also used Luke as well. But Paul didn’t believe the God of Christ, and the God of the OT were two separate entities. And his primary disagreement with Jewish Christians, just involved the role of Jewish Ritual Laws, and whether Gentiles needed to abide by them to be a part of the Christian community.

You seem to have a terrible understanding of Paul and Marcion, to offer anything other than the most cringey and nonsensical arguments about them. If all atheists argued as you do, we’d have very few atheists, lol.
