There only real atonement is between the person that has been wronged and person that wronged them.
Just another in the long line of examples of how Christianity forces people to surrender their morality.
Your lack of understanding of Christianity is astounding, especially when you try to define it.

@GC,
I gave Simon Moon kudos for his response because he has pointed out some very valid things. I agree almost completely with the first of the two points you've quoted above, however, I would slightly amend the last one by suggesting that this is one of the ways in which Christianity causes people to surrender their humanity. Morality may or may not be a moot issue in the matter of forgiveness.
