If you're ready to drop faith in God and Christianity, you should also spend some time considering how the religion has shaped your personal morals and the way we conduct day to day life altogether. If God is nonexistent and the entire religion is a sham, how can you justifiably accept the moral structure the church has put in place too without question? You shouldn't, and you should be non-apologetic in doing so. In the end, whether you believe in God or not, you're still the product of Christianity. So it's something to consider if you really want to break down the entire God deception....

There is no such thing as christian values. There is only a thing called common sense. Christianity has abducted common sense and sold it as its trademark after spreading among people with fire and sword. When christian zealots felt that there is no need any more for force and that people has "the right religion", they changed their conquest behaviour.
But, anyway, let us think what christian values mean in practice. Maybe inquisition, burning stakes for witches, gays and other so called heterics, genocide on Indians, spanish conquistadors...I don`t know. If you speak of that, so called christian values, you can`t forget the history. I am ashamed of that values.
The most important values of western culture came from people that were fed up with chains made by christianity. They threw it off and started with renaissanse, humanism and other philosophies that put a human being in its centre instead of god.
More christianity in our society means less common sense, less development, less human rights. History has proven that. Some Islam countries are great proof what can surplus of religion make in society. And christianity is not any different. It has the same logic, it is the same shit. Give total power to it and you will see that I am right. We would find ourselves in a Middle age again.
