Just saying that most religious folk are nasty does not make it so, and is as broad a generalization as the idea that all atheists are bad people; there are bad and good among all kinds, and to say otherwise is ridiculous.
Where I come from, there are plenty of nice Christians, and the church I used to attend is even considering allowing gay clergy-members; this may seem a tad too late, but better late than never, right? One of the pastors there has been in the closet for years, and for the first time he has a chance to be open about himself on this issue.
I am not a rare person, BP, not in the slightest. Just because the chuch you attended was mostly dogmatic and offensive does not mean that all chruches are as such; nor that all religious people are as such. Kindness is personal, not religious.
