Why Not?

What are some of the reasons people reject Christianity?  Again, don't limit yourself to "legitimate" intellectual reasons.  Take into account emotional/social considerations as well.

Why?

While rivaled by Islam and by secularism, Christianity is the world's most widespread religious belief, with as many as half the world's people identifying themselves as Christians.  Why do you think this is?  What are some of the reasons people choose Christianity over other beliefs?

Do not limit your answer here to "legitimate" intellectual reasons.  You can include emotional/social reasons too, or anything else you think might explain the widespread influence of Christian belief.
