Atheism or Christianity: Which is more palatable?

Is Christianity bigoted, violent and tribalist?

There are many noted atheists visiting Australia for the Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne. No doubt this will lead to many discussions about Atheism and Christianity.

Dr Greg Clarke breaks the stalemate of the "us" vs "them" debate between atheists and Christians by discussing the basis of human ethics that shapes society. Instead of asking "who is worst", Dr Clarke admits there is great disillusionment with religion with good reason. The New Atheists disgust with Christianity particularly denotes a foundational moral perception. Does Christianity pass the Pub Test or do we need to challenge our social responses to shame, guilt and disgust as a marker for moral action.
