Why? I don't get atheists. You are more than free to believe and disbelieve in whatever you want. But why the never-ending goal of proving things 'wrong' in Christianity? Why the continual need to jab at those that DO believe? How about you don't believe, and do your own thing and leave us alone, and we'll do our thing and leave you alone? Not good enough? You need to scoff at religion, almost exclusively Christians.

Atheists Exploit Holy Week to Claim ‘Jesus Did Not Exist’
Professional atheists and God-slayers love to target important Christian feasts to try their hand at debunking the foundations of Christianity, and this Easter is no different.
Writing for Raw Story, former evangelical Christian Valerie Tarico and atheist activist David Fitzgerald teamed up this Holy Week to insist that “the evidence that Jesus ever existed is weaker than you might think.”
Comparing belief in Jesus Christ to “witchcraft, bigfoot, [and] the idea that an American president was born in Kenya,” the two would-be myth-busters attempt to take down Jesus of Nazareth by undermining his very existence.
“The Christ at the heart of Christianity is a figure woven from the fabric of mythology,” they state. “The stories that bear his name draw on ancient templates imbedded in the Hebrew religion and those of the surrounding region.”
If Jesus even existed and was not the aggregation of various persons, they affirm, “he probably was a wandering Jewish teacher in Roman-occupied Judea who offended the authorities and was executed.”
“Beyond that, any knowledge about the figure at the center of the Christian religion is remarkably open to debate (and vigorously debated among relevant scholars),” they confidently assert.
