I am of the opinion that if you are going to refute something you should at least know what it is you are trying to refute. As a former fundamental evangelist I read the bible and the more I read the less I believed in its claims and assertions. Atheism did not come easy for me it was a very slow and terrifying process for me, since my fear of the biblical god was so great as were what I believed then the consequences for turning away from him.
I study Christianity mainly because being from the U.S where it has a major foothold I see my rights constantly invaded and put to the test when they attempt to force legislators to implement laws based on Christian principles. My intention is not to deconvert anyone but rather to increase my knowledge and test what arguments the Christian community are presenting as a defense for their nonsensical beliefs. To me this is sort of a firing range where I can practice my debating skills and increase my knowledge base both from fellow atheists and theists alike.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
