I'm non-denominational chuck. That means yes we are trying to "put all of Christianity back onto a nice, fuzzy, warm keel of reasonableness and tolerance" we reject doctrinal boundaries and have a whole Bible approach and focus on unity not separation of beliefs along human lines. Nothing wipes out 2000 years of suffering (read forgiveness), but forgiveness is not forgetting grievances, but appreciating the person/goal more than the offense. We do well meaning deeds all the time, we just come together and talk about them 1-3 times a week. None of that really matters because you still haven't supported your bare assertion/generalization.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
