I'm not a fan of Christianity but I'm all for this if it enrages the left. Bravo.
What is it about Christianity that offends you? (not a rhetorical question)
Not the above user, but also one with a disconnect from Christianity: apart from spending most of my young life in some form of Catholic education (the leading way to create non-believers), my general disdain for Christianity comes from the real idea of a church (and how the Catholic Church has been).
In my experience, religion is something that can only be truly understood in a personal way: everyone’s experience with the divine can only be understood by them. I personally believe in a god (in the sense of a higher power, not abrahamic) who created our universe and left us to our devices.
I don’t have a problem with a fair amount of the morality of Christianity (especially the Law of Love), but at the same time a fair few of the teachings can be so horribly regressive.
I believe the Catholic Church is a purposeful aberration of what Jesus and His disciples taught. I urge you not to examine Christianity through Catholic Church lens! If you haven't done so, try reading the book of John, the book of Acts, and the book of Romans; those three books summarize pretty well what true Christianity is all about.
Have read the Bible, Old and New Testament, for school. I don’t have an issue with Christianity as a concept, it’s just not how I understand religion on a personal level. My disdain for the Church isn’t leveled at their belief system.
Fair question and you deserve an answer that isn't bullshit. I can't manage to sum it up better than this:

It's important to note that I'm not associated with the page in the link but I'm in full agreement, having grown up in the church and involved in the ministry.
I didn't read through the whole article, but I agree that many Christians aren't good ambassadors of Christ. However, if certain people in a given church are used as an excuse not to go to that church, then you would never go to church, because there is no perfect church, since all churches are inhabited by less-than-perfect people. There are some churches, that are full of the people discussed in the article though (smile and shake your hand, and then talk down about you when you go sit somewhere; I've visited those kinds of churches), so they are best avoided. I'm sorry if you've had bad experiences with Christians in the past, but I hope you will give Christianity another chance. If you visit a church that is mostly comprised of people who try to live up to Christ's ideals, I think you will have a different conclusion.
You say there's no perfect church, yet Christ requires a spotless bride. My friend, the church, as you know it, isn't the church at all. His true children do not go to church but ARE the church, 24/7.
The Scriptures refer to your places of worship as "high places" and those in these systems of men bear the mark of Cain (mark of the beast) already.
It may have served you better had you been diligent enough to read it in full. At the very least, it serves to answer the points that you are trying to make.
One last thing that may help explain my position:

No church that I've ever walked into expresses the unadulterated ideals of Christ. Paul warned us about these "churches" and the heresies being pushed.
