Christianity is a fraud religion since it is based on two events that never happened; a virgin birth and a resurrection.

Did the Virgin Mary give consent? Is Jesus the product of sexual assault?

Mythology and other fiction is okay when labeled as such. Fraud enters religion when people present the mythology as if it were reality. (And then they demand money from the "believers," turning the fraud into a scam.)

It is easy to see that the dogmas of Christianity as propagated by Churches are false or mythical in nature and should not be taken literally—there’s no need to wallow in the fact, to say it over and over, because almost all discerning people agree. Even Jesus himself is reported to have said that he was not a lord but a brother. Apparently Jesus was not a Christian.

The actual teachings of Jesus as written have merit IMO. Even if Jesus never existed, someone wrote those parables and sermons and there is no harm in looking at them.

When presented with the staggering implications of the mystery of existence, the appropriate response is not belief or disbelief in some dogma or other. An aware person is smitten with a sense of deep awe, appreciation and reverence. His holy scripture is nature itself.

Both of which events are central to a number of religions. That does not make Christianity a fraud....it makes Religion a fraud, whose primary purpose has always been crowd control. But I’m sure that I’m preaching at the choir here, if you’ll forgive the expression.

"I can buy the mother and the child. But not the virgin birth!"--(Some old eighteenth-century French Philosophe, or another!)

Perhaps Jesus didn't even exist. There are no contemporary records of him.

It's what people believed in back in those times. And those beliefs have been passed on throughout history into todays society via our parents (minus Agnostics/Athesists). As we grew older we saw the logic and questioned religion to the point that we are now agnositcs/athesists.
