Many of them do... even most of them, I would say. But we have an "observer bias" because we are forced to deal with the loud ones, who disparage us and try to press their theocratic agenda into our lives.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

make a joyful NOISE unto the Lord
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You have conflicting ideas of trying to save people from hell, but also Jesus saying don't be a hypocrite and keep your beliefs private. Though Jesus wasn't the one who started christianity anyway. Paul did.

Yeah, sadly the loud ones get the attention and give the rest a bad name.
