Something like 'does (passionate/devout) christianity affect a person's morality (in a negative way)?' would be a bit better. The issue here is that it's making blanket statements about a group of people. You can't answer C without being an asshole. It's mostly the phrasing of the answer.
Well that's a different question entirely though lol. I already asked a very similar question in this poll: http://atheistforums.org/thread-34450.html
You are correct that the question covers a large blanket of people, but that is what I wanted to know. I'm glad to see only 1 person answered C.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
