I haven't read all 183 previous responses to this thread so this idea may have already been stated:

Christianity has strong elements of socialism in it. The big question in my atheist mind is:

Can a true Christian be a true conservative?

For the record, I believe the answer is yes and I am on record all over FR as being against the anti-Christian jihad run by the left in the US today. I also believe that Christianity led to the development of science and democracy and that Christianity is a strong force for good in America.

I also believe that the greatest evils in history have been perpetrated by avowed atheists (Stalin, Hitler, Mao).

But in answer to the thread question, I feel obligated to turn the question around, because of what I see as inherent socialism in Christian doctrine.

On what basis do you see Christianity as being socialistic?
