Because I have a free mind and I use it.

No, you do not.
You have a knee-jerk reaction that lets you see none of the good that Christianity has done, this blindness indicates a mind that is far from free.

Now, I will grant you that the Church here in America does have problems [read the Book of James], but that is beside the point.

LOL. Thanks for illustrating Jefferson's point:
 
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;"

>>the good that Christianity has done,
 
"First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians..."
