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?

Agree. Most churches I've experienced are pretty good and with people like you say.
Many people love to hate religion and these folk tend to make rather ridiculous generalisations.
There are dreadful things that have happened in families, schools and other human institutions. I don't write off schools, families, churches or even all politicians as a result of the worst.
