I think a lot of religious people are pretty down to Earth, principled people who try to be good...

There's a lot of corruption in religious institutions too and some ignorant religious texts but the same applies for any institution; individual.

A majority of religious people I know don't hate gays or reject medical science or even play the moral highground. What's with all the trolling?

A number of years ago we had a family gathering. One of my cousins brought his boyfriend to the gathering. I couldn't help but notice the only people who spoke to my cousin and his boyfriend were the Christians. The non Christian family members all said hi and didn't ignore him but only the Christians sought him out to have a chat.

@hippyjoe1955 I find a lot of times religious people are more hospitable, my guess is it is because they tend to be more principled which maybe makes them more inclined to make an effort at social gatherings.
