The way I figure it is that 99% of organized religion is bullshit, and this has lead a lot of intelligent people to conclude that 100% of religion is bullshit.
Now, I am in no way a Christian (unless Recovering Catholic counts), but the various Christian sects are the ones that I am most familiar with. My aim is to try and figure out some way that one can get one's mind around it so that it could make any sense at all. There are a lot of very smart people out there who are also fairly devout. C. S. Lewis springs right to mind. Now that could be an entirely cultural thing, or it could be that they have come to some sort of understanding that makes the manifest evil done in the name of large organized religions beside the point.
So, what was JC up to? And what did that bastard Paul want us to think he was up to?
