Your answer lies within your post. My biggest problem with Christianity is the tendency for evangelism. It is one of the *VERY* few religions on the planet that calls for the conversion of others. I think its just wrong to have that kind of arrogence where you think that everyone else is wrong, but whats more that its your personal responsibility to show them the light. Also it is the second biggest religion on Earth so because of its size, power, and intentions its a lot harder to ignore than Taoism or Judaism. Finally Christianity is highly misogynist. It specifically describes the roles of women as less than men, it depicts races as unequal, and it justifies slavery of other people and nature.
I don't know if you've read any of my other posts, but I am not anti-Christian. I am a believer with some doubts is all. I suppose for me the biggest problem I have Christianity is not in principle but in its practice. I think people have a superficial relationship with their faith and this leads them to be dogmatic and ignorant. I think Christianity is a great religion of values, principles, and relationship with God but I don't think people often execute it in that sense.
