You know how we tell the story about brutally murdering the Son of God? We want to put that on display, all the time, in His House, so He never ever forgets.
God is love!

But don't forget, Jesus is also God. Fully, but also distinct. So we're reminding Him about how He had himself killed so that He could forgive us because some lady who didn't know anything didn't follow His directions
Let's not forget that he's the one that invented the rules that allegedly required such a stupid and convoluted plan.
And is also omnipotent and allknowing.

In Christianity, the crucifixion is the moment of victory. Christ’s sinless death is what allows mankind to be redeemed, and that was the plan all along. So they see the crucifixion as holy, though it is also mourned. It is used as a reminder of the love God has for his people and as a sort of “try to be better” thing.

A good 'ol death cult.
Pretty weak deity which can't even forgive the sins they created themselves without all the pageantry. This is why I only worship my TI-83 calculator from middle school. It is capable of completely passive forgiveness, and largely unwilling to resort to damnation under any circumstances.

No wonder Jesus hasn't come back. We never miss a chance to remind him of what happened last time
This reminds me of a joke:
" Aliens make first contact with humans. They are peaceful and start a dialogue with us. The subject of religion comes up, and Christianity is described to the aliens and they respond by saying ' oh yeah we know Jesus. He came comes to visit you too?'
'Well yes, once, over 2000 years ago.'
To which the aliens reply: 'That's weird he visits us every year, stays for about a week for the high feast we throw in his honor. It's a recreation of what we did for him the first time he appeared. What happened when he came here? Maybe if you recreated whatever that was....'
'Oh, um, we crucified him.'
'Oof. Ok. Makes sense now.'
Basically, he has marked us as the bad neighborhood on his map.

Catholicism lore and practices are actually pretty metal if you think about it.
Carry a figure of the dying tortured son of god in a little chain on your neck. Nailed to a cross, speared through the chest, and with a fucking spine crown.
Spikes and a skull tattoos have NOTHING on Catholic paraphernalia.
Then literally eat his flesh and blood in a ritual to commemorate his death.

This is Known. Goth fashion is basically a very involved parody of what Catholic aristocrats used to wear (this is why you get all the “sexy nun” stuff too)
White Jesus from the middle east
Portraying people from the middle east as european helps to normalize zionism.

Literally the second commandment:
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.

Wow what a good entity that is totally deserving of my worship.
Nothing says divinity better than petty human emotions like jealousy, and open threats to my unborn children and grandchildren.
That's actually pretty much in-line with how a lot of gods were portrayed back then. Have you read any Greek mythology? The gods were assholes there, too.

Also jealousy is illegal according to the the Christian Constitution.

"You shall not make for yourself..."
That means it's ok to just buy it, or you can make them and sell them. So long as you don't make one and keep it for yourself.

Religion is given far too much respect in the world when it needs to be treated as a mental disorder.

One pedophile argues with another:
My pedophiles are better than your pedophiles! Why? It says so right here in my holy book!
Too real for some folks here, obviously.
Anybody that's read the Bible knows Jesus was a White man from New Jersey.

Idolatrous iconography is cute, but the real elephant in the room with Abrahamics these days is bibliolatry. Hate to make a Potter reference, but so many of these people think their God is Tom Riddle.
It takes a finger to point at the moon, so look at the moon, not the finger.

Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are all tax free! They get tax benefits that no "non-profit" can match.
These are all unfathomably wealthy organizations. Their fundamentalists all despise us (us being not them). Get a job
Jesus returns, looks around at crosses everywhere.
"Fuck me. I'm glad I didn't die accidentally drowning in manure!"
Can't sell as much merchandise without a face to go along with the name.
