No question that is hard, no matter what your belief system is. It is the hardest thing anyone can attempt to do. Period.

Why is it so hard for people to accept that Jesus died for our sins?

I know you said you were not selling religion. But, I think the above comment did come across as from someone who works the retail department.
The problem I have with (some) believers, and (some) atheists alike, is when one group feels they have a
monopoly on Truth. This usually lends itself to said-group acting as if they are on ethical high-ground. From there, they seek to convert/impose/proselytize/condemn/etc anyone who has a different view. To use extremes as example, you have people and groups like Al Qaeda, Fred Phelps, and Micheal Moore*.
*Politically, I actually agree with most all of Moore's positions. However, I have serious issues with some of his tactics and approaches to making his points and/or "converting" people.
