I’d been expecting Quran chapters on how to beat your wife and oppress your daughters; instead, I found passages promoting the liberation of women. Two-and-a-half years after my capture, I converted to Islam, provoking a mixture of astonishment, disappointment and encouragement among friends and relatives.

I agree with dbates statement that most athiest are from christian nations. And in christian nations there are not many muslims. Therefore you dont have muslims pushing islam on you like you have christians pushing jesus on you. I believe the reason so many people try to debunk christianity is because of christianities, what I like to call recruiting policy, is always pushing their faith on other. I believe people get tired of that, so instead of just ignoring it they try to debunk it. If christians would just be quite and enjoy their religion by themselves, without pressuring others, I am willing to bet that the attempted debunkings of christianity will decrease immensely.

What do you mean "dont know what they are talking about?" When they talk about christianity?
That'd would be weird concidering most of them are ex-christians or raised among christians.
And how does the masons use atheism as a tool?
ELABORATE please... if you know what you're talking about that is

I agree with your assessment of people who claim to be the most religous and most christian.
9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and
the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off,
would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”
