1) Their mistreatment of homosexuals
2) Their anti-Science stances
3) Their rejection of Allah
Their arrogant need to force others to do what they think is "moral" via legislation.

I agree to an extent. I'm sick of Christian lobbyists attempting to criminalise abortion. But in my country, Australia, it was mainly Christian agitation in the courts that gave impetus to the recognition of Aboriginal land rights, which had been appallingly neglected. So on one hand I dislike the arrogance of Christianity's influence over legislation, but on the other I think its necassary.

Not true. Libertarians don't.

In any case, 1) we're discussing Christian faults and 2) it's mostly Christians doing it in the USA.

Sure they do. Libertarians generally support laws against those who initiate violence against others.

Your point 2) is flat-out wrong. You're ignoring groups like the ACLU that push hard for more secularly-slanted laws.

I think the thread was partly in reaction to the worst thing about Muslims thread.

Because it's easier to malign the truth than to examine ones own faults.

But are there not other threads in this forum such as "the worst thing about Muslins, the worst thing about Jews, the worst thing about religions and even the worst thing about this forum"?

It's easier to huddle in a defensive circle and baa like sheep than look outside and notice that the wolves are really silly men with masks.

The worst thing IMO is that some people call themselves Christians when they do not even follow the teachings of Christ.
