Being "in the loop" with the religious right I can tell you exactly how they work.

They preach about how God can make a difference in your life.

They tell you stories about how bad they were before they found God, and that after being saved they've started living life the way God wants them to live it.

They tell you that God speaks to them and tells them to do things.

They work on a level of holliness. Some Christians are better then others because they've done more good. (though they will never admit it) Part of going to church is wearing your Sundays best (showing off how clean and pure you are via your wardrobe)

If they are doing something that God told them to do, that affects you negatively, it's not them doing it, it's the will of God, as they are only Gods instrument. No Christian hates anyone. Christians hate the sin in the non Christian way of life. Christians don't hate you as a person, they hate the sin in you. Sin is categorized as something someone does, says, or thinks. So to make it more clear, Christians don't hate you, they hate the things you do, say, or think.

In the Christian mind (includes catholics remember) Mel Gibson is an icon now. He can do no wrong. He will be seen as a warrior for God that, at his weekest moment, was swayed by satan to the side of sin.

As a young kid that was abandoned to the state I came across my fair share of these types. One was a pasture that preached and preached, and wanted me to come stay with his riteous family. I declined (had a strange feeling). I rather stay in the group home (orphanage). Years later it was found that he had a taste for young boys. He's in jail now.
