I'm what you might call an Atheist Christian

I'm what you might call an Atheist Christian; I don't believe in any gods, but I do find great value in what Jesus actually said and taught, which was to love, forgive, and let live. That's quite different from what many modern churches teach, which is to fear and to try to control the behavior of others. Such people often have no qualms about employing the coercive machinery of the state to impose their values on others, which Jesus never did nor advocated – his slate was clean, and yet he cast no stones.
