I will state it again, I do not approve of all actions carried out in the name of God. However, I do believe in Jesus and I have a relationship with him that you will not understand. That is ok. I would sugguest though that in your anger you do not seek to pass judgement or diminish the views of others.
If you are truly interested in figuring out about God, it doesn't require going to church. You can start by praying. If you simply wish to bash Christians for their believe you are serving no one any good. If this is your motive, to make fun of those who believe, I would ask "What is your problem?" and deal with the answers you come up with.

I don't believe in god? Wow...that's news to me. It's true that I don't believe in
your god, but that's a far cry from saying I don't believe in anything at all. I don't believe in a conditional god and I don't believe that god needs or even wants you to pledge your whole life to him/her/it. My ideas about god are probably best summed up by reading
THIS
But I digress. The point of this is that there's nothing really christian about these people. So many people in this country are so quick to point out that religions like christianity are religions of peace and that religions like Islam are religions of the sword. Neither case is true, really since religion lies in people and people come from the factory with prejudices and troubles. But dressing your kids up like soldiers, telling them they're in a culture war, and that they're soldiers in god's army...that's pretty fucked.
