Because rednecks and republicans use it as a justification to hate other people for no reason. Over here stupid people think that jesus wants them to hate gays, blacks, arabs, muslims, whatever. I think most people here really started to HATE christianity when Bush said that god wanted him to invade Iraq, and when Jerry Falwell went on tv and said that god allowed 9-11 to happen because he was upset about gays, feminists, jews, and anything else that the ACLU stands for.

When the answer to "What would Jesus do?" changed from "Use tolerance and love" to "Beat a faggot" is when people started to look at is a backwards and detrimental.
