It's not perfect, no religion is, but beats the heck out of folks that actively want you either converted or dead, right here in the enlightened 21st Century.
But not as good as people who will leave you alone and not try to turn their dogma into secular law affecting a quarter of a billion citizens.

This is not about all of Christianity, but a significant, vocal, and obnoxious minority of Christians, many of whom have yet to be disavowed by their parent denominations.

Exactly. A true Christian is one who follows the teachings of Christ. Including compassion towards all, not alienation. A true Christian loves his/her fellow human beings unconditionally.
