I think for most people here, 'hatred' is a pretty strong word. I doubt most people hate Christianity.
The church itself has created the conflict due to their veering from simply teaching and guiding to trying to
control.
The hypocrisy, controlling, punishing, conditional love and conflicts of interest, the money, lying, abuse on many levels, power tripping, hiding of truths to further their own interests....these are the things that turn off people to Christianity.
I've never had a problem with the teachings of Christ. (If the DaVinci Code has a shred of possibility, I am related to the man so who can complain about a distant relative who happened to be an avatar at the least and the risen Son of God at the most?
