Original: Christopher Hitchens justifies atheism under 2 minutes
Is a resurrected Jesus actually necessary to explain the existence of Christianity? When presenting the case that Jesus rose from the dead, the Christian will often point to a set of historical facts which generally boil down to… Jesus was crucified, people claimed he rose from the dead, and now the church exists.
Now would an actual resurrection of Jesus explain these facts? I suppose. But a supernatural explanation can be used to explain anything. The better question is... is there a non-miraculous explanation for the existence and history of Christianity? Please indulge me for a minute and allow me to lay out one possible scenario…

Here, New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman lays out the problems with taking the resurrection stories seriously from a historical perspective.
If you are interested in a list of contradictions in the resurrection accounts, check out the links below:
http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/charts/resurrection_accounts.htm
http://atheism.about.com/od/gospelcontradictions/p/Resurrection.htm
Some additional facts about the New Testament that should cast doubt on it's reliability:
All 4 canonical gospels are written by anonymous Greek-speaking Christians living 40-70 years after the death of Jesus, not by eye-witnesses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorship_of_the_Bible#Gospels_and_Acts
http://www.christianbiblereference.org/jintro.htm
http://www.rationalresponders.com/the_gospels_are_anonymous_works_and_none_are_eyewitness_accounts
We have no original copies of any book in the New Testament, and most of the copies we have come from many centuries after the originals were lost: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_manuscript#New_Testament_manuscripts
The new testament contains many contradictions: http://www.errancy.com/ratings/overall-ratings
http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/paul_carlson/nt_contradictions.html
http://www.skeptically.org/bible/id6.html
and historical errors: http://www.answering-christianity.com/abdullah_smith/historical_errors_in_the_gospels-3.htm
The new testament may contain as many as 11 forgeries, letters that were written in the name of someone other than the person who actually wrote them (The term "pseudepigraphy" is often used instead of "forgery", but the meaning is identical):

Here, Hitch points out that even if arguments for god are sound (they aren't), the conclusion that Christianity is true can never follow from them.. He then explains how all religions are born.
This clip is from one of his debates with Frank Turek. You can see one here:

Bart Ehrman's book, How Jesus Became God.
Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea of the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds - and above all, how it might appear to us if we were there.

Why I am Not a Christian, by Keith Parsons: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/keith_parsons/whynotchristian.html
Here are a few facts that every Christian should know about their bible.
All 4 canonical gospels are written by anonymous Greek-speaking Christians living 40-75 years after the death of Jesus, not by eye-witnesses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorship_of_the_Bible#Gospels_and_Acts
http://unveiling-christianity.org/2009/01/19/the-anonymous-four-gospels
http://www.rationalresponders.com/the_gospels_are_anonymous_works_and_none_are_eyewitness_accounts
http://www.twopaths.com/jintro.htm
We have no original copies of any book in the New Testament, and most of the copies we have come from many centuries after the originals were lost: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_manuscript#New_Testament_manuscripts
The new testament contains many contradictions: http://www.errancy.com/ratings/overall-ratings
http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/paul_carlson/nt_contradictions.html
and historical errors: http://www.answering-christianity.com/abdullah_smith/historical_errors_in_the_gospels-3.htm
The new testament may contain as many as 11 forgeries, letters that were written in the name of someone other than the person who actually wrote them (The term "pseudepigraphy" is often used instead of "forgery", but the meaning is identical):

In other words, fine tuning arguments assume that carbon-based oxygen-breathing primates were what the creator had to work around. We were the "given"..the brute fact that god himself could not change, so he had to tune everything else in the universe around our requirements for survival. But does this make sense for a god who created literally everything from nothing?
Think of it this way. Musicians need to tune their instruments to achieve the correct tones. Why? Because they don't have the ability to achieve perfect musical tones any other way. They need a physical instrument, and they need the instrument to be in the correct condition to produce the proper sound. The materials that produce the sound are a *constraint* on the musician..who (because of their limited power) are forced to tinker with these materials to achieve the desired result. If you want to listen to your favorite radio station, you are forced to turn the knobs to the correct channel because you have NO CONTROL over the frequency that the station broadcasts at. Fine tuning is only required because you lack the power to have the station play on any channel you wish. But if you were a god, and you control the radio, the radio station, and the laws of physics that govern radio waves, you could have your music broadcast on any (or all) frequencies without a problem..so fine tuning is not required. It is only when one has limitations in power and ability that fine tuning is necessary.
Bottom line: Even if fine tuning arguments were successful, they would destroy the concept of an all-powerful god..and turn him into a tinkerer, forced to work around certain physical "givens" that he has no power to change.

Religion is a love born of terror. Like children, we WILL love what takes our fear away as if it WERE our parent.
To partially explain the existence of religion you need only explain the existence of superstition. To explain THAT, you need to explain that "spooky" feeling we get. I think I can, though it's just an opinion. I think "spookiness" is an instinct we HAD to evolve in order to survive, to keep us out of the shadows at all costs.
Understanding an instinct often removes much of its power over you. Try. :)
Evidence of the claim in the video that pre-existing traits can be accentuated within 10 generations can be found in the following video, where wild foxes are selected for passivity and bred, resulting in obvious (and somewhat shocking) affection and trust. I think nature could do the same, selecting for and accentuating fear: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xwq3rs_evolution-in-action-the-silver-fox-experiment_shortfilms

Today the Arabic World is one of the most religious regions in the world. This however has not always been the case. Once the region was the intellectual peak of human civilization where science and reason flourished. This is the story of The Arabic Golden Age.
