I have no hostility at all toward Mary, she just is not a very big part of my Christian religion.
The church is built on the prophets and apostles, with Jesus as the chief cornerstone. If Mary is neither prophet nor apostle, she is not part of the foundation and has no part in salvation other than being the God-bearer, the mother of Jesus. She is most definitely part of the Christian creed, but only as a fulfillment of prophesy - "born of the virgin Mary".
