Unfortunately, from the perspective of the non-religious most mainstream Christians have allowed the wackaloony fundies to define Christianity in America.

I think the great majority of us realize that not all Christians are hateful bigots but so often it is the hateful bigots who are by far the loudest and most visible.

Until the non-hateful, non-bigoted Christians step up to the plate and take their religion back from the fundies you are going to have this perception problem.
