5. Lots of theologians leave college as atheists or Unitarians after beginning as Christians

My dad was one of them. After really learning about Christianity he couldn't reconcile it with his faith in a higher power, so he became a Unitarian minister.

Christianity actually has very little to do with Christ. The movement was first hijacked by the self described "apostle", Paul, who never even met Christ. He changed it from a Jewish sect into one that catered to gentiles because that's where the money was. Christianity was later hijacked again by the Romans and altered to become a faith that could unify the empire under a single religion. Both times the religion was changed to fit the circumstances and it's still being altered today to fit various agendas.
