10.The Crusades
9.  The Inquisitions

7.  The Partnership of Colonization and Christian Missions (for centuries - hello Africa)
6.  The Church's Treatment of the Gay Community
5.  The Silence of the Vatican and much of the Protestant Church During the Holocaust
4.  The Vatican's Handling of Child Sexual Abuse
3.  The Politicization of Christianity in America (the Moral Majority not so much WWJD)
2.  The Hypocrisy of Christians (guilty as charged)
1.  Jesus Meant It (Love your enemy, Blessed are the peacemakers, the meek shall inherit the earth...)

What are your reasons?
