Negative, in lefitst/ liberal circles, it's acceptable to mock Christianity, Christians, and Jews, but doing the same towards Islam is racist. You turn a blind eye to your own party as the Democrats are the party of slavery and Jim Crow.
On balance, Christianity is a force for good throughout history. Nothing compares to the atrocities committed by atheists and socialists like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, just in the 20th century alone.
I find it hilarious that you want athiests to do your dirty work for you.
There are other things that are more hilarious. A christian conservative wouldn't have been invited on Bill Maher's show to openly discuss Islam even though Bill would agree with his or her views, that person would be attacked. Thus, Sam Harris, an atheist, who is also knowledgeable about Islam, who got a mouthful from Batman on steroids.
I have just the book for you.
Quotes from his book:
"I have set out to demolish the intellectual and moral pretensions of Christianity."
"It is, therefore, not an exaggeration to say that if the city of New York were suddenly replaced by a ball of fire, some significant percentage of the American population would see a silver lining in the subsequent mushroom cloud, as it would suggest to them that the best thing that is ever going to happen was about to happen: the return of Christ."
"One can obtain a PhD in any branch of science for no other purpose than to make cynical use of scientific language in an effort to rationalize the glaring inadequacies of the Bible. A handful of Christians appear to have done this; some have even obtained their degrees from reputable universities."
"That religion may have served some necessary function for us in the past does not preclude the possibility that it is now the greatest impediment to our building a global civilization."
"This letter is the product of failure...the failure of our schools to announce the death of God in a way that each generation can understand."
"It is astride this contemptible history of religious atrocity and scientific ignorance that Christianity now stands as an absurdly unselfconscious apotheosis. The notion that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that his death constitutes a successful propitiation of a "loving" God is a direct and undisguised inheritance of the superstitious bloodletting that has plagued bewildered people throughout history."
"Faith is generally nothing more than the permission religious people give one another to believe things strongly without evidence"
"Everyone who has eyes to see can see that if the God of Abraham exists, He is an utter psychopath."
