I had a friend when I was a teenager with a congenital condition that confines her to a wheelchair. One day she was in a public place (I forget wear exactly, but I think she was at a fountain/water feature) when a man walks up to her out of the blue and says 'I bet you're thankful to God that your mother didn't decide to get an abortion'. It wasn't said in a mean tone, he clearly meant it much the same way that someone might say 'isn't it a nice day?'.
This is not normal behavior, but some people are so indoctrinated, so conditioned to approach strangers to share their good news, and so locked in their echo chamber that they don't know how to act in public or what's appropriate to say to people who aren't in their cult. Fortunately, the largish majority (60-70%?) of American theists don't fall into that category; which makes it all the more startling when you run into this sort of behavior.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
