Well, I would posit that the "hate literature writ big" would accurately describe your entire post. That anti-religion thing has sure made you a better person, huh?

Christianity, properly practiced, is none of the things you describe it to be. I go to a church that practices it properly. Not one full of legalistic judgmentalism, just full of serving one another and our community. Can your atheistic "community" say it does that? For free?

Religions more than carry their weight in society. They don't pay taxes, but they do provide services to the community that more than make up for that, which would cost the state far more to provide on its own than the tax revenue it would gain.

Furthermore, many of the great institutions in America were started by churches, including most hospitals and the primary school system. All were run as non-profits, and most still are. If a church is making a profit that they aren't re-investing in ministry to the community in which they live, there's something wrong with that church.
