Islam, it forces people to join and puts peer pressure on non Muslims, the quran even commands it. There are no problems with Christianity or messianic Judaism. Buddhism is okay but i would say its a sort of paganism in nature. I wont go through them all, i would be here all day. The person that would of killed in the name of Christ were not Christians in the first place. You cannot tarnish every religion with the same brush. One bad apple falls you cannot blame the tree and pick apart the entire tree. Cut of the branch that had the bad apple and then continue supplying water and sunlight to the tree.
I donate to church, you know, the building and people that do more for society than you ever would. I have never seen an atheist sincerely interested in giving to the poor, or providing hope and personal and mental and spiritual things to people around the world.
Christians who kill others in the name of Christ were absolutely Christians. Do you understand the "No True Scotsman" fallacy?
Atheists, not being an organization, are not going to be preaching the "good news of atheism". Most of us care a lot about the economic system and how it can leave people behind. We give to causes and food-banks.
Atheists have nothing to sell. We just don't believe in gods. Whatever social good your churches do as organizations could be better done by secular groups that don't evangelize.
