Idk why people who think Jesus died for them can't just accept each other and just all be Christians. It shouldn't matter the specifics of your Christianity as long as your core beliefs match the others, ya know?
I'm also a life-long atheist who attended a bunch of different churches with friends growing up to see what they were like. I don't understand how someone can believe in a God. What makes even less sense is why people, who believe in the same God with the same kid who sacrificed himself and preached love and all that, hate each other so fuckin much.
