I'm a non-believer, but I do not treat Jesus' death with contempt. I respect the fact that he was willing to die for what he believed in... although I may not share those same beliefs. On a side note, I'm curious to know why the Christian god punishes finite "sins" with infinite torture. In all honesty, if God were a human torturing other humans in the same manner, he'd be on trial for crimes against humanity.
If Jesus did die for what he believed in, that was his choice and fair enough. However some of the extreme beliefs on which the exponents of them use Jesus as a peg on which to hang them, are truly awful. If Jesus had been a halfway decent human being I think he would be shocked at what some claim in his name.
