Don't blame me for my opinion or perceptions in regards to Jesus, and his morals, values, or teachings?

It's the FAULT of those Priests who had Jesus Crucified to begin with, thus making Jesus a Global, and household name, that Jesus is today, true or not?

My in-depth studies, come from going to multiple religious buildings, and the histories of Jesus, and the Bible are on full display for every parishioner to see, study, and learn from.

Religion in general, is voluntary to engage in.

Just as being non Religious in general, is voluntary to engage in.

And I've come to realize, that some of the non Religious individual, have yet to make an appearance in ANY building, to confront, or protest any Religion based on @maxx's narratives:

        "oh jesus?"

"assuming for the sake of argument that jesus actually existed, yet was not the son of god, but rather some philosopher whose miracles were just nothing more than a magician act, do you consider that his morals, values, and teachings worthwhile to follow and implement into your life?"

I've yet to see any Religious minister, preacher, priest, rabbi, or what have you maybe REFER to themselves as a Magician, or a Miracle worker, so to speak? 

Or even a philosopher for that matter?

I've been to small Churches, with a congregation of 20-30 parishioners.

And I've been to a Church with 300-400 parishioners being present in Church?

And on TV, with Joel Osteen, his services, seem to draw hundreds and hundreds of parishioners to his Religious services.

And this fellow as of 2018,  his televised sermons have been seen by approximately 10 million viewers in the US and several million more in over 100 countries weekly?

So, the words like Magician, or Miracle worker, from as far as I can recall, has never been expressed in Mr. Osteen's direction, by any of the Nationwide news media.

I believe Jesus existed, because the Priests, back in his day, pushed, and succeeded in having Jesus Crucified.

So maybe if those same Priests, who were biased and prejudicial towards Jesus, didn't push to have Jesus Crucified to begin with, and just left him alone, (for doing nothing wrong in the first place,) and then they went about, "trash talking the man, in order to mock and ridicule him, and then Crucified Jesus to death, thus making Jesus's name, a Globally recognized name, because of their biased and prejudicial efforts, those same Priests, are responsible for Jesus, being the Global household name that he has become centuries after his Crucifixion?

Jesus existed, because his history, is and will always be synonymous with Humanity, regardless of how some of the modernized non Religious individuals view Jesus through the lenses of their own non Religious rationalizations.

His morals, values, and teachings, are pro Child, pro Parents, and pro Community.

And I know this because, I've yet to see any Religious building in the United States, because Jesus and his morals, values, or teachings, were found to be harmful to any Freedom of Religious seeking individuals?

Why won't you debate this question?

Does your Atheist position, align with United States values?

I'm an American, and I say YES, Christianity does align with U.S. values.

"Does Christianity align with US values?"

There are Religious buildings across the country, that help with the homeless, and the hungry.

I've seen food drives, bake sales, homeless shelters, food banks, places where clothes and other goods can be donated to help those individuals who are in need.

So yes, Christianity does align with U.S. values, and it's a shame, that some Americans might balk at those efforts, that are U.S. based Values.
