my first argument to support this statement is the fact that none of the books of the bible even claim to be the word of god.
they are title 'The gospel according to ????'.
Who is to say that the authors of these books are not corrupt people perpetuating a lie?

I'm glad to hear that hope rescued you, but the answer to the question you ask should be obvious. Yours is the dominant religion in the west, and is intrusive in the lives of those who don't share it.
If Christians just kept their religion private, few would care about whether or not there was a historical Jesus, or who he was. But they don't.
Blue laws are still on the books, evangelicals keep trying to sneak prayer and religion into the public schools and plaster the 10 commandments all over public buildings. Drugs are illegal for religious reasons, as is prostitution, gambling, etc. Christians try to pass laws to regulate what adults do in their bedrooms, or to limit the legal rights of nontraditional relationships.
Not to mention that the US is at war right now probably because of Bush's religious delusions.
