    As an actual Christian that reads the Bible and goes to church, I wish more people who called themselves Christian actually followed what the Bible says. It’s a big problem in the US

      Yeah, if you don’t read the Bible or go to church, it’s almost impossible for you to actually be a Christian.

      But for some reason what counts as a Christian is determined by what you choose to call yourself instead of what our holy text says.

        Patently false. Most atheists have read the bible as much as most “Christians”. Some of the most-common “causes” of atheism are: never was pushed/encouraged to believe, skeptic/scrutinizing personality, or being annoyed by what “Christians” say or do. All of these reasons and more for being an atheist are good and valid-- I’m just arguing against this bad-faith (no pun intended) crap that you are arguing, and that some other atheists say.
