A favorite quote of mine -
"The single most cause of atheism in our world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips but walk out of the church doors and deny Him with their lifestyle. This is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." Brennen Manning
Speaking as a Christian, all too easy to do.
I will point out, though, that the New Testament is full of examples of correction to early Christians who had difficulties very similar to modern Christians. It isn't a problem with the "age", it is a problem with being human (though this does not make it excusable).
