"You make people uncomfortable with the way you dress!"
"You don't care about anyone except yourself!"
Those Christians don't care about anyone except themselves.

Not only that, but some of them act like if someone is not a Christian, someone is not even a person. No rights or emotions
And some Christian adults are not willing to even be friends with someone outside their religion, much less marry them. Even junior high school students have friends outside their religion.
And they hide behind the authority of an entire religion. Whatever they do. They acted like they represented a religion and a species
But not all Christians are like that, all the time
And egocentric, arrogant, judgmental precious lil "people" come from a wide variety of religions

Yep. When people say "all of christiandom" to refer to the "civilized" world. They say the rest of the world are savages but they ignore the savage things they do themselves.
They say things like "You're not Christian so God-given morality how can you say that murder is wrong? You have no morality without God. You can get away with anything."
I think getting away with anything applies more to them. Prisons are full of repentant Christians who ask God for forgiveness. But if God can forgive any number of sins than what reason do they have to behave morally? They can murder and maim as much as they please and God will still forgive them.
Instead of asking God to forgive them, they should ask their victims to forgive them. It's not for God to decide.

Part of it is that in the united States, Christianity is the dominant religion.
In other countries, Islam is the dominant religion. And they celebrate Ramadan. And businesses close for Muslim holidays
Despite separation of church and state , government offices and private businesses, in the US, tend to observe Christian holidays. Coins say "In God we trust". Says nothing about Buddha, Vishnu, Allah
"Savages"?. Exactly. It reminds me of the song "Savages" in "Pocahontas".
It appalled and disgusted me how many old, academically smart, socially adept, financially productive Christian adults, refused to even socialize with anyone outside their religion. Unless it was to try to convert them
But. Not all Christians are like that. Many Democratic Christians are more receptive to diversity
In Buddhism, there is the "Myth of Separation". "We are not one, but we are not two either"
In the past some Christians have used the Bible to justify racism (Mark of Cain), sexism, homophobia.
But. Not all Christians are like that, all the time
It's majority versus minority
