I don't see how being a Christian is such a 'brainwashed' lifestyle.
Look at the hope so many people had been given in life, like addicts and suicidal people-how can you argue that they've made such a terrible life choice?

I never said it was a bad thing to have religion as a basis for life. You're right it does help alot of people. I just don't think it's for everybody. If you comvert when you have learned about the religion and what not then ok you were not really brainwashed. A small child taught to devoutly believe however has been brainwashed becuase they had no choice.
