Why are some people so much against christianity?

I believe it is because Christianity is true, and so the devil tries to turn people away from it and hate it. And yes, some "Christians (can we even really call them true Ctristians?" have made mistakes, but no religion or group of people has a clean record. People are people and some make mistakes

they just probly want you not to follow Jesus but to follow what they believe. I as well am a Christian and i get attacked as well but instead i fight back if they're gonna attack. if not then i dont bother to attack at them.   I agree wit you on lettin everyone believe what they want cause its their life.  Its not their job to change our lives and make us believe in what they believe in.

For some people, it's sheer ignorance.  That ignorance, for the most part; is willful.  They choose not to learn from others, rather they wish to stick to their "I know what you believe and you don't" attitude.  If I want to know about a Christian concept, I'll ask a Christian. If they show me that I'm wrong in what I originally thought, I'll glady accept that.  I won't continue to argue the point once a follower of any particular faith has offered me knowlege on the sujbect.  I see a great deal of that here. It's like logical reasoning jumps right out the window as soon as a concept which is different is brought up.  They simply don't want to learn, plain and simple.\n\nOther people are just so hateful that they get great joy out of being smug and holier than thou.  It's almost like they think they are God on Earth or the only chosen person of God.  If they aren't playing a constant game of "My god can beat up your God", they aren't happy.  \n\nFinally, some people like to set themselves up as martyrs. They love to enter discussions which have nothing to do with their faith, spout a bunch of scripture, throw around some brimstone and then complain about how unfair other people are when they're told to mind their own business. They also really enjoy complaining when people enter their conversations doing the same thing.  \n\nI generally don't become angry or beligerant unless I'm having someone else's beliefs shoved on me 8 ways to Sunday.  Trying to discuss anything here without being told to find Jesus is impossible.  I mean it, try to get advice on mundane things like diet or health issues and you're told the same thing.  Honestly, It's very annoying.  I know, I know if I don't like it I can leave.  Just airing my view on the subject.

I'm not quite sure I understand the question.  As a Jew I am not anti-Christianity. (not even sure what anti-Christianity would mean).  I believe differently than Christians, but I can respectfully agree to disagree. I also disagree with Muslim beliefs.  In fact I even disagree with some Jewish people's beliefs!  (such as reform, reconstructionists, etc.)  \nIn short I'm not anti anybody except evil people like Hitler, Bin Laden, and so on, (if you could even call them people)...

Probably something to do with religion, christ etc. There are an awful lot of religious wackos out there.

I agree many people fear rejection by their parents and family and community and play along so as not to cause "trouble".  As someone who has questioned the beliefs I can say they are certainly correct.  Athiests are HATED by Christians.  Many even will go as far as to not let their kids come to your house or even worse, they try to convince your kids that their parents are going to hell!  \n\nNice, huh?\n\nI dare anyone, for one week, tell people you are an athiest and watch how fast the christians start to persecute you, not online in opinion forums, but in your town, in your schools, and in your nieghborhood.  It is truly shocking how intolerant they are of people who simply don't believe in their stories and mythology.  Their hatred is palpable.

Because they want to scare you into believeing thier religon. That's why i don't like christans that try to "Spread the word" about christianity. It actually turns some people off because it gets annoying.

i think it's because some people find it offensive to religions that don't believe in Jesus.

Christians are NOT the only ones who discriminate against others. Most organised religions talk  'smiting the infidel'. They all believe that their's is the one true way.

You are restricting that just to Christians? I find many people "representing" different views doing the same.\n\nAlthough I am no big fan of Christianity you are asking a biased question

Christians are very ignorant of other faiths.  I suppose because they're been raised to think that theirs is the only true faith and that everyone else needs to be converted to Christianity.\n\nIt's getting better though.

A true Christian doesn't hate anyone\nThe ones you refer to are probably just frustrated like me that people refuse to believe the truth

Christianity is a powerful religion because it has so many members.  It is hard to speak out against Christianity not just here, but in all areas of life.\n\nMany Christians believe that this is a Christian country, not a country with religious freedom.  I hope that one day we will be able to have true religious freedom, but until that day we must accept that Christianity rules America.  But acceptance does not mean that we can not work for change!

People hate because they are afraid of things they don't know much about. The Church goes against its own preachings by hating gays. Christianity says to love others, even if they are "sinners." You can argue about the nature of sin, but nowhere in the bible does it say "Good Christians bully gays." In fact, Jesus defends sinners as being only human and by saying,"He who throws the first stone..." Some Christians argue that gays are sinful, but few know what sodomy traditionally means. In biblical times, any sex that was done for just pleasure and not to make babies was viewed as a distraction to pleasing God and worshipping Him. So, naturally, gays were sinful for "having sex for fun." Nowadays, though, healthy relationships are driven by "fun sex", not the urge to make babies. Sexual attraction and a healthy sex life with your lover, not the need to make babies, is what primarily drives a healthy relationship of any kind! So in essence, what causes religiously-rooted homophobia is a misinterpretation of the bible. The other kind of homophobia is driven by people insecure in their own sexuality, and therefore need to bully others in order to feel powerful.\nEither way. I think your friend is just trying to find himself, so give him time.

Where do ya get 4 billion people think its false?  I think the majority of the people in the world have a problem with islam. In most countries they are viewed as the trouble makers.  Most people view christianity as the lesser of two evils. \nYes people have problems with christians but ya don't see them fearing the people.  Also it is far more easier to get people to be christians than muslims.

Christianity is one of the biggest and most organized of the thiestic religions. It's the most visible religion in western society, and so, the biggest target.\n\nSome athiests are former christians who have personal grudges against the church. Some have problems rectifying science versus religion (evolution vs. creationism), others have problems with church policy regarding issues like women in the church and homosexual marriage. Some don't like the way they feel pressured by christians into believing what they do. Some have even experienced things like sexual abuse at the hands of clergymen. All these reason could push an athiest to be actively and even offensively against christians. \n\nThe other side of this are athiests, particularly younger people like teens, who use atheism as a form of rebellion. They see the church as just another power structure thats attempting to limit their freedom, much the same way as they see police, the school system and parents as obsticles. This is usually the group of athiests that are the loudest and rudest of all.\n\nFinally, there are many many athiests out there who aren't pricks and hold no animosity towards christianity. Usually these people have a good deal of respect for the beliefs of others, because they see religion as a choice. They simply choose not to follow a thiestic or panthiestic system, or find more agreeable answers to the "big questions" from the realm of science.\n\nIn the end, to each their own. They may not be able to understand or accept your choice of religion, and thats alright. Believe what you believe and practice as you wish to practive. So long as your choices reflect positive human values like love and respect, you can do no wrong.

In my experience, religion sets most people off for many reasons.  \nFirst, faith is a set of deeply held, deeply felt belief.  They are so ingrained in the psyche and life of those who defend them.  That is the short answer for those who have faith.  \nFor the others, people hate it when someone of faith think they know better than them.  \nThey are offended because religious views conflict strongly with their own.  \nPeople hate it when they are told they are wrong.  \nThey feel guilty for their lifestyles or life hoices and they lash out at those who confront them about these choices.  \nNo one likes to be told they are going to hell.  \nPeople don't like to be 'judged' whether they are or not.  They tend to think that ey are being judged when told that they are disagreed with.  \nNobody wants religion crammed down their throats...whether it is being done or not.  I've found that defense of a belief causes people to feel this way, even if the argument is started by them in the first place.  I also find that many people resort to personal attacks at that point.\nPeople think that religion is to restrictive.  This is very true if a person is living in a way that is in conflict with the religious views.\nI don't know how to put this one really.  eople are selfish.  They want what they want and they want the freedom to do it without anyone saying it is wrong.  Social issues like abortion, homosexuality, pre-marital sex, drugs, etc. are the key points of dispute.  Obviously, the first 2 have the greatest emotional issues today.\nThe discrepencies in various faiths alscause many problems.  ie. the shiite and sunni muslims, the Catholic and mainstream Christian churches.\n\nIt is amazing how much the spiritual love, that many believers purport to have, go flying out the window and change to hatred and personal attacks when a issue of import to that person comes up.  It is sad to say this, as it shows that religious view in a negative way.\n\nThere are many others, but, I hope these ideas are helpful and/or different.
