Alright i guess i did not explain myself well enough. What i meant by saying atheists are disillusioned is that they have simply given up altogether on religion because they dont see evidence for it. However there is evidence in the form of the Gospels, the teachings of Jesus.
Accepting the Gospels is a choice, but i find that many atheists only base their hatred of religion on what its excesses have done, and refuse to see the good that has come out of it because it their minds, no matter what, they start with the presumption that religion is bad. So no matter what anyone say they will always read with this presumption.
Finally i am NOT cherry picking. Christianity is based on the Christ, hence the name. I reject the Old Testament altogether and accept the Gospels altogether. This is not cherry picking.
And to clarify on me being a "true christian". By that i mean that i base my faith on the Christ, hence the Gospels, and not the Old Testament.
