People who hold up those signs or say things like "God told me to attack Iraq" are radical christian protestants, mainly Baptists and the sort. Christianity in the united states is a complete distortion of what Jesus originally taught. Jesus lived among outsiders, so how a handful of idiots wants to interpret his teachings should not represent the real, positive aspects of the religion.
I think that a lot of gfyers are so intolarant of religion because they are bombarded with images, speeches and demonstrations of protestants in the United States.
