People view Christianity as hate, in many cases, because of a couple different reasons; they think people that call themselves Christians actually makes them Christians (this includes Hitler, at one point apparently, and millions/billions of others) when, in fact, one needs Christ in their hearts as their savior to be saved. Then and only then will someone's life start to change drastically towards being more Christlike. Here in the u.s. I believe we have more Americanism than Christinity; people say for God and country all the time but then do things that very much is pro U.S. but contradictory to what the Bible says for us to do. People that call themselves Christians yet don't follow Christ's model are probably not truly saved (not to be specific, because I don't know peoples hearts) but that Kansas "church group" that screams at people all the time would be an example here. Lastly, the Bible predicted accurately almost thousands of years ago that people would despise Christians and what we stand for, so it doesn't shock me the least bit that people would be persuaded to believing a bunch of made up nonsense that's against the Bible.
