There are definitely people who "hate, extort, abuse, lie, cheat, etc." who also go to church, and there are people who do that without going to church too. The Christians I know are not monsters.
Don't get me wrong - I am extremely bothered by the bad things churches and individual Christians do and have done - but I think it's extremely inaccurate and insulting to paint all Christians(?) or people of faith with the same broad and ugly brush. Also, since we're in a community that does comprise quite a few Christians and those who love them, it just seems like a very attacking and community-dividing stance to take.
