Christians celebrate rape, torture, slavery and genocide.

From the OP: "If you are a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim, or any other sect who pledges his or her soul to Yahweh, you are aiding and abetting a criminal."

Confirmation bias, among other problems.

I'm not claiming that Christianity is a net good. How could you possibly quantify that? But atheists, who tend to claim that they only believe based on evidence, usually believe that it's a net evil, despite not being able to quantify it.

The area of contention includes both: compelling reasons for subjective opinions.
